User Interface (UI) rules:
No UI Is obvious or easy to a new user.
Software should be such that one can to learn it without too much pain.
Once learned, it should be hard to forget how to use it.
An experienced user of similar software should not need a manual to do
usual and common tasks.
New versions should NOT have gratuitous or unnecessary changes from
earlier versions.
I would call any program whose UI satisfies these as user friendly. And
I think OO.o and LO both satisfy these fairly well.
I used MS Office on Windows 3.1 because my publisher paid me to do so. I
had later version of MSO because I could get them free through the
University where I taught. I used, and preferred StarOffice on Linux
before Sun bought it, I used OO.o from the earliest days, and switched
to LO when the Oracle bought Sun and screwed things up. I can't really
say OO.o is better or worse than LO, but I don't use OO.o because Oracle
has made it difficult for everyone. I believe LO has some features that
OO.o doesn't. I have not had LO crash or freeze.
