I personally get a little annoyed when I create a new document in writer and then have to open a new dialogue to change the zoom from normal to 'fit width', as is my preference, but more than that is the fact that the dialogue is rather unnecessary with the three 'view layout' options catered for down in the status bar and thus the only real need is to change the zoom levels which could be achieved more efficiently with an ordinary submenu. You don't need to open the Zoom dialogue, instead you can right-click on the percentage in the status bar to get a menu where can select any of these options. You can also double-click the percentage to get to the dialogue instead. Obviously, you didn't see that and neither did I (I think I was at some point explicitly pointed there). So, despite the functionality being there, we do have a problem. Are you interested in turning the problem into a spec?

If you can use a pointing device, using the status bar is sufficient, but the status bar cannot be reached via the keyboard (as far as I know), so keyboard users always need to go through the menus.
