Agreed. I pointed out several times that I for myself never was fond of removing the quickstarter menu. But please don't spoil it for me: I'm just happy to have it back finally. :-) > Casually, I was readig issue 39486 before reading this. > http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=39486 > There you have another example of existing functionality that is wasted > due to deeply wrong and biased usability scenario. I also don't like this decision, IMHO I already pointed that out here on the list. But please don't construct a general problem out of it.

I don't think that there is something wrong "in the process of designing specs". IMHO there are some errors made in some of the specs. Consider the *huge* amount we made for OOo2.0 - it's not surprising that some of them are not, well, satisfying. We learned from that for the future: we will create less specifications and let more people review them. Please remember: only people that don't do anything don't make errors.
