Been using it on and off for over a year now. It's what's dished out by
Ubuntu and a lot of other distributions. Not sure what the advantages
are now but back when I first tried it; it was faster & had some slick
converters & one of the first pdf-editor revisions.

Most of what go-oo does, I'm guessing, gets worked back into OOo but
just more slowly.

Clicking the "discover" link Yrrah gave will list a lot of what's in
Go-OO but not OOo. I'm not sure if any of it ever does get in the
upstream OOo -- one of the main reasons the Go-OO project was started
was that those developers felt frustrated when they tried to get OOo to
take their code. (And I never got around to figuring out why they felt
that way, let alone who might be to "blame" for it.")

One of the real advantages of GO-OO is that it is supposed to support Excek
VBA macros in Calc. My personal experience is that VBA support is spotty at
best. This means that one would have to go in and fix macros that don't
work, possibly making them incompatible with Excel. It is getting better
but it's not there yet. Beyond that it does feel faster than OOo and does
most everything else that OOo does.
