I'm very slowly working on a document describing the differences between
the various versions of LibO & AOo.  I might also include EO, and NO.

Right off the bat, special character input in AOo allows words, and even
entire sentences to be entered in one swoop. LibO will only do glyph by
glyph insertion. The practical effect that for combining characters,
LibO requires at least twice as many keystrokes, and, for some obscure
glyphs in obscrube writing systems, up to five times as many keystrokes.

The more significant difference is with the extensions and templates one
uses. I don't have a current list of which extensions work better with
which product. N-Gram grammar checking was slightly faster with AOo,
than with LibO, using the same document.

The OOo-SVN extension worked with early versions of AOo. I never managed
to get it to work with LibO.
