Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Notebookbar out of Experimental

+1 Nigel Verity. The illustration may appeal to a lot of people. I know a lot of people see LO 
suite is "old-fashioned"

I am using Notebook bar for a long time now and it works fine for me. I am not sure if the 
developers see some hidden problem with it for keeping it experimental.
