I don't care that it's free - I'd happily pay for a good office suite. But it'd need to run on Linux and OS X. And it'd need to be available remotely. And support collaborative edits.
Unlike you I've never run into problems with the collaborative editing. The relative lack of features is not a hindrance for me either, and in some way it's a benefit - less UI clutter.
It does certainly lack features, though, and things like the spreadsheet suffers from performance problems (a spreadsheet with more than a couple of hundred rows is total agony), but for me it's still meeting more requirements than Office.
