Not so friendly. It's "the ribbon" all over again. UI work is needed, we know that without the survey. However, specifics are needed and this Microsoft-style solution-in-search-of-a-problem is bullshit. (Poo on your virgin ears) The survey points to no specifics: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/File:OOoUserSurvey2009_Final.ods In fact, there seems to be general satisfaction with the product and its components. How about a survey asking what is missing or what could be improved. "the ribbon" by any other name is still a failed attempt at contextual menus. Even assuming deIcaza shares some of the magic M$ pixie dust and we all become so stoned, stupid or soporiphic that everything seems fine with contextual menus, where will the processing cycles come from? OOo, IMHO, is not slow but it sure is not fast. User experience could be very much improved by removing or reducing the latency. There have been *lots* of suggestions over the years, especially in regards to performance. Adding slow stuff will not make OOo faster.
