Hi Heiko,

Nice proposal. Here are a couple of trivial grammar suggestions:

* If I understand the intention of the sentence correctly, "Simplified
spoken..." should say "In simplified terms..."

* Likewise "...to meet the concept strictly." should say "...to strictly
meet the concept."

Also, I don't understand why the first question only makes reference to
Writer & Calc. IMNSHO the survey should cover all modules where the
sidebar <rant>regression,</rant> is imposed.

For those of us that loath and detest the IBM sidebar, only marginally
less than the MSO ribbon, please add one more option, OR replace the
existing "( ) No, I tried it but prefer toolbars." option, in the first
question with:
( ) Yes, Only because I am forced to use it.

I propose this because it might give a clearer assessment of why the
options in the other questions were chosen.

Just my 2¢ worth.

Regards
Dave
