Some people, like me, keep OOo open, but without any documents open.
For those people, the switchboard is a nuisance, because it requires
that one open, then close a document, to get rid of the switchboard.

For example, this morning, the first thing I used OOo, was to create a
quick spreadsheet. Then it was for some historical data to be
analyzed. Then I opened up my business plan, to see where I should be
today.  Then I edit some user documentation I'm writing.

Had the first email I read this morning been different, the sequence
of documents I opened would have been different.

The power users do _not_ have a way to turn off what they perceive
(correctly) as junk --- stuff that not only does not contribute to
their productivity, but actually damages it.

One has to go three three more steps with OOo 3.0, than with 2.0, to
get to the same place.   For non-power users, the new setup might be
helpful.  For power users, it hurts their productivity.
