What about Apache OpenOffice? I don't think the above statement is correct or true at all. Apache doesn't care about "end user friendly", "complete", or whatever words like that. Apache is about building open source software communities. If they are eating the dog food, be it filet mignon, or tuna-based, they are eating the dog food and the Apache I know is happy to have their community here.
