--- Comment #39 from Clarc <[email protected]> ---
Speaking of my own experience, when trying to teach people how to properly
format their documents, the biggest issue we face is this "Default Paragraph
Style".
Due to improper defaults, most of their past documents happen to mix "Default
Paragraph Style" and "Text Body".

Thus, just to have nice, centralized control over how their document looks,
they are forced to learn multiple features of LibreOffice all at once:
• Text-Styles themselves, which can be complicated enough
• The fact that "Default Paragraph Style" exists and was forced upon them, but
should not be used
• The styles-portion of Find and Replace (Ctrl+H), to get rid of all "Default
Paragraph Style"s and turn them into "Text Body"
• Templates, to fix the first line of their future documents being "Default
Paragraph Style"

This makes the learning curve WAY more complicated than it needs to be. It
worsens the user-experience.
It saddens me to see many non-tech-savvy users return to MS Office whenever
they can; partially due to default behaviors like this one.
