Re: [libreoffice-users] question

A lot of people are growing up with the ribbon bar.  Our menu system might be 
better but it looks very old and dated now.  People often want things that look 
new however sad that is.

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.
