Re: [libreoffice-users] New design

Hi :)

It is difficult to explain to people.  Perhaps try saying that although there is chocolate 
ice-cream, not all ice-cream is chocolate!  Choice, diversity and market forces are often seen as a 
bad thing in computer markets!  It is confusing to be given a choice!  Hoever in almost anything 
else people would be outraged if their choice was restricted to a "one size fits all".  

I think most people here, in these lists, are happier with diversity and the benefits it brings.  
"Diversity breeds serendipity"
