Finally got 'round to downloading #LibreOffice & I gotta say, not particularly relieved to see what appears to be every single bit of Office styling & navigation in-fucking-sanity carried over verbatim.

I know we're lowering the switching costs for people weaned on Windows but... look, this shit borders on "cruel & unusual" as it is & we're apparently supposed to keep living with it, even as we break free of what, one specific kind of Microsoft awfulness...?

@jwcph Can you be more specific? I mean, LO uses menus, not the ribbon mess, for one thing. Lots of the styling is easy to change.
I'm not associated with LO except that I've used it for a long time.

@nitpicking @BasementDweller3000 This is in no way limited to ribbons. We're talking everything from illogic & inconsistent item placements in menus & dialogs to weird & idiotic idiosyncracies like number fields (e.g. paragraph spacing) jumping to set values when clicking the arrows, rather than progressing one unit at a time.
I fear people used to half a dozen mouse clicks where 1-2 (or zero, if you could trust hotkeys, which you can't) should have done it can't even see what the problem is.
