MS has always been at the antipode of ergonomics. And they keep moving in the *wrong* direction. "Ribbons" as well as the totally ridiculous Windows 8 GUI - try to accomplish *any* work with it, you'll rather end up tossing the screen through the closed window of your office - are just the latest cerebral flatulances emanating from their "product managers' "brains". > (that is the opposite to your idea) and > maybe we find the other way with simplification at Google's tools. Google's just equally ridiculous and dysfunctional crap. *Never* take products made by managed corporations as examples to follow. > I guess LO is used for its conventional user experience. That means > all functions reside in the main menu and some have fast access at the > toolbar. Those items need to be grouped (small separator lines > between) No. It has been proven over and over again that "separator" lines do *NOT* "separate". They effectively do the *opposite*, besides adding elements that are just confusing for the eyes. *Never* use them. Use *exclusively* whitespace to group objects.
