Some other programs a few years back introduced the idea of "skins".  If 
we're going to experiment with new user interfaces (and I expect LO will 
have to), I think the "skins" concept would be most appropriate.  If 
necessary, re-engineer the underlying commands so that they are not 
dependent on the hierarchy of a particular type of user interface.  Then 
let the current UI become one skin, Pedro's ideas become another, etc.


That would be perfect. Even if it's not a free-form skinning interface, it
would be fantastic to have the option to load e.g. Classic, Widescreen,
Ribbon or to create and import/export a user customized interface. 

This is particularly useful when you have fine tuned the buttons you need/
don't need. This would allow the user to do it only once instead of in each
computer you use.

Contrary to what some people think this is not a pointless idea just for the
skinning/tunning geeks. This is actually a way that any user can improve
productivity by having the functions (s)he uses most at the most convenient
position.

It would be fantastic if LibreOffice chose this path of usability freedom ;)
