Re: [libreoffice-users] question

Ah, but the Ribbon menu is important. It's another evolutionary option for
the interface. Whether you like it or not is to a certain extent a matter of
taste. Quite frankly I hated using a GUI for a long time. It slowed me down
too much. It still does slow me down in some ways, a command line is more
efficient IF YOU KNOW THE SYSTEM WELL.

If you don't, a GUI is easier.

And some of it is simply a matter of taste. If you grew up with curry on
your food, it won't taste right without it.
