I've been using OpenOffice (and then LibreOffice, since around when it forked) for writing scientific papers for a few years now. For referencing I use Zotero which works really well ( I can't stand Endnote!!!). Recently I had to switch to Word for a collaborative project and I absolutely hated the way it tried to take control of everything. The way LibreOffice handles captioning and just everything in general is much better than MS Word. The formula input and formatting is much more like Tex than MS Word too, which is really handy for all sorts of scientific and math input. Anyway, I've been considering switching to Google Docs on an Asus Transformer for writing on-the-go (commuting) and will give it another go soon, but for now LibreOffice is the best I've come across. For basic writing needs on a tablet I think I can make Goog work.
