Please bear with me if this isn't how we post to this mailing list-- I'll admit it's my first time contributing.
Recently, I was looking at two mockups posted to OMGUbuntu and WebUpd8 regarding LibreOffice's design. One was for a Ribbon style, the other for a sidebar design. Personally, I couldn't get behind the sidebar design. When I used KOffice, I found it was eating up a lot of screen real-estate, and especially by splitting half the UI elements between the sidebar and the top bar, negated many advantages of Fitt's Law by requiring I track multiple active zones. I cobbled together a very basic mockup of a streamlined interface using the web demo of Balsamic-- I don't have resources to go much further. But if it's actually interesting to anyone, please let me know.
