[libreoffice-users] MSO's 80/20 rule: 80% of the people use about 20% of the functionality.

A paragraph that points to pcmag.com's article about "100 Essential Tips 
for Microsoft Office 2010" list the following "rule":

For most of the world, Microsoft Office 2010 follows the 80/20 rule: 80% 
of the people use about 20% of the functionality.

That 80% that is not used by the 80% of the users is what MSO advertised 
a few years ago that these were the most needed options by users and 
were most of the advertised "thousands of new functions added" for their 
next upgraded product.  I was told once that of that 80% not used, about 
90% of that figured features are used by only 1% of MSO's users.  Can 
anyone spell B.L.O.A.T.

I hope LibreOffice never has that type of rule applied to their office 
suite.  The extensions solve many of the functions that are needed by 
the small percentage of users.  We do not need them to be installed by 
default.  We do not need to be able to do spreadsheet functions in a 
Writer document, but I was told that Word can do that if you knew how to 
do it properly.  That is bloat for rarely function used concept and 
should not be in a wordprocessing document.  Copy/Paste a spreadsheet 
into a Writer document is OK, but we do not need to bring all of Calc's 
function over to Writer so you can user Writer for Calc work.
