The devs (and many QA people like me) have wide experience using computer
software, different apps with various UI styles. And they are typically more
perceptive and perhaps even intelligent than the average person who needs to do
simple office or personal document authoring. That's a bias. Some people are
better able to correct for that bias - but even the question of _how_ to
correct for this bias is a matter for debate.

I believe what you're saying contradicts the formal and perhaps the practical
way things work in the TDF, but perhaps we're going out of scope too much with
this argument.

aware.

IMHO, it is not yet properly implemented. That is, our entire argument here is
somewhat premature. If it were up to me, tabbed UI would need to be more ready
before even being exposed. And I believe Stuart's argument is that no developer
is interested in having a tabbed UI in LO enough to continue working on its
implementation.

My support is conditioned on progress towards properly completing the
implementation of the tabbed UI, i.e. resolving some of the more painful issues
blocking bug 107237. Regardless - this should certainly not decided by a
majority among 4 people opining on a bug.
