1. a It is a straightforward UI, similar to ones used since the mid
80's. There is limited learning needed to use the UI. Fairly easy to
customize the UI to suit my needs.

1. b Some of the commands are in unusual locations, such as importing a
file into Calc is not under file. Makes learning the UI and menus a
little more time consuming, not difficult. The command is somewhere but
where until one learns the menus. Can be confusing to new users.

2. Use screen real estate better on large monitors. Have more tool bars
available in other locations particularly the side. User choice on the
final location.

3. The leading Office productivity package for users with a strong user
focus but not necessarily the most popular. I favor quality over market
share if there needs to be a choice.
