That's not a true statement - or a good additude.  Just because someone has
difficulty with IZ doesn't mean they don't want OOo to succeed.  And,
conversely, just because someone really wants OOo to improve doesn't mean
they should have to bang their head against the wall for hours trying to
figure it out.

I have filed IZ reports before.  I didn't think it was terribly difficult -
but I was able to ignore all the stuff that didn't apply to me.  Some people
see all those drop down menus and get confused, frustrated, and/or give up.
Not because they don't care - but because they are users - not programmers,
and they don't think like programmers.

IMHO, the IZ interface should be user-focused - not programmer focused.  The
reports the programmers see can be programmer focused - but the place you
file the reports should be user focused.  And, that means of course - it's
not the same page (like it is now.  Bad design there.).
