[libreoffice-design] Take inspiration from Lotus Symphony ?

Hi,
I am currently wondering which office suite I should recommend to my
customers : Symphony or LibreOffice.
As far as I can tell there is no difference between the two in terms of
performance.
But in term of interface and usability it's a different story.

After using Symphony for few days, I found that the interface being more
inviting, you are more likely to "play" with the settings and thus
discovering more efficient ways to work.
I spend a lot of time training and explaining to my customers where to
find which option in OpenOffice/LibreOffice.

So my dilemma is as follow : should I recommend using LibreOffice to
benefit from the rapidly evolving features, or should I recommend
Symphony for it's nice interface ?

Another way to ask the question is : Will LibreOffice's interface evolve
toward a Symphony' style in the near future (3.5, 3.6 ?) ?

Thanks,

-Cyril
