I had been forced to use MS crapware for quite some. And getting rid of those ribbons by switching to LO was the only way to come back to anything close to "productivity". Add-ins that allow to get rid of the ribbons are imho the only other option. Compared to toolbars (which I only use very selectively, customised and never above or below the editing space), they are ridiculously cluttered and occupy screenspace where I need it most. > Come on people, not only M$ do this, even Apple and there are some > linux programs that are using a similar approach right now. Yes, unfortunately MacOS X has become a heap of totally anti-ergonomic visual gadgetry. And yes, even Gnome3 and KDE4 are emulating that kind of <expletive>, since unfortunately their developers don't have the sligtest clue of and/or don't give a darn for the most basic rules of ergonomics. Guess why most Linux users (all that I know of) who have to do actual work with the computer do *not* use Gnome3 or KDE4. > Static toolbars are obsolete in terms of modern GUIs. Nonsense. If they're customisable and can be placed vertically (next to the editing space), they can be useful. Ribbons however, are a total non-starter. Sincerely, Wolfgang
