For what it's worth, I've never had *any* program run "fine" under Wine. 
They either don't run at all, or they hang up on me, or whatever. Now, I 
won't blame Wine or Windows or anything else. It may be I need more 
education on Wine, but I don't have the incentive to take the time to 
learn. With a dual boot machine, any time I need to run a Windows 
program, I just boot into Windows.

That said, it might be interesting to see how the poll might fare if 
there were an option of "MS Office running under Wine." Does anybody 
actually do that?
