We use Drupal as a content management system for sharing information. In
conjunction with  Google Docs spreadsheet we manage our EU projects. We use
OOo for some things like dealing with forms sent to use from the National
Agency as .docs. Mostly though we don't want to print info so why would we
use desktop file based apps except for some specialised functions? Main
difference as far as I can see is that we don't have any license fees to pay
and neither do our partners. Neither is our info locked into proprietary
apps or formats.
