How true. I prefer the right click menus in Gimp, which luckily they
kept with their changes.
We often have to temper the best or most efficient for popularity. The
best is no good if no one uses it.

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.

Yes I can understand how you, thinking that you are younger, feeling like

you to see only what is put in front of you and you are unable to use logic

generationalists, (but not all), willing to accept only what you are told
and unable to think outside the square you are ordered to live in.
To be honest with us and with yourself, if the reason you will not use LO
is because you will only use an office suite if has ribbon button menus than
you are the exact petty minded person that Microsoft relies on for it's
future profits.

OK, in my case, the only reason why I DON'T use LO is the lack of ribbon.
I accept that not everyone likes that, that's why I wrote the idea of an
extensions or plugin. So those who like the ribbon would be able to use it.
@Bruce: I have to disagree with you, I find the ribbon much faster and
easier to use. And I'm not the only one, many of the people around,
especially the younger ones find much more useful the ribbon than the
dropdown menus.
I know that those who get used to the menu-style won't like any other
solution, but you are not the only ones.
So what about the plugin/extension thing?
