Hi, I personally prefer iWorks myself, but that is really only because in Open Office, each line is shown as another edit field. I still believe that is the case.
As for web browsing, you can jump to certain blocks of text. With the introduction of Web spots in Mac OS X 10.6, it can sort the page so that with one command, you can jump to the areas of the page that may be of most interest to you. Of course, you can also go by elements. I really have not found any part of Mac OS inaccessible. There might be the occasional glitch, but those are quickly fixed or there is an easy workaround.
