I don't think we need to remove existing features. But I DO think we
need to focus on the "90% of average users". Basically, I think LO
should be making sure it can do everything that MS Office 97
(15-year-old software) could do, and do it just as well and just as
easily. If LO could do THAT, it would eat Microsoft's lunch.

I totally disagree.
If user is unable to do something he wants with open documentation,
then this
is documentation fault. It should be fixed (made clear, verbose, use
screenshots or anything), not feature should be disabled.
There are many ways to speed up opening of programs. Some features
may be
delayed or loaded on request. Application can be modularized - core
features
are loaded by default, other are loaded only if user wants them (take
a look
at LaTeX, GNU R, Miranda (instant messenger), even Mozilla Firefox to
some
avail).
*Removing* features is total no-go, because it will drive away these
users who
need them. And I don't think that LO is application only for 90% of it's
current users.
