Yes, I have.  I'm not sure it's worth upgrading from StarOffice 5.2
(although now that I've converted some important files to the new
*.sxc format, I'm committed to the new version).

I've had some trouble with the Postscript generated by StarCalc.
It's generated the same error message on both the Lexmark Optra
here (a PostScript(r)) printer), and my home system, which uses
RedHat 7.1 to convert PS -> PCL.

I also tried the drawing application a while (1-2 weeks) ago, and
found that it could create only squares, and not rectangles!  (I 
can't compare this experience with SOffice 5.2 ... never tried the
drawing app there).
