> So, Tor, what is your point of view on UI changes?

I am all in favour of changing the UI, but I am fully aware that I am
not an expert in UI issues, and don't claim to know how it should be
changed. (Also, I am a programmer, not an office software user; I
actually use LibreOffice (or OOo) for real work quite seldom.) I don't
think generalizations and "well-known truths" are trustworthy.
Especially, one should be careful of falling into the trap of
claiming some UI is "intuitive". It is fairly natural that if one has
used Phillips head screws for a decade, Torx head screws feel
unintuitive. Or that if one has used GIMP for a decade, Photoshop
feels unintuitive.
