I am not in favor of such an addition for Xubuntu. Linux, for good or ill, has been about variety and choice. What I like about switching to Linux is that it forces changes in how I did things previously. And, I think LibreOffice is an excellent and worthy replacement for MS Word. I disagree with those who want to replicate the start menu from Windows or the Dock from MacOS as the entire focus of a distribution (such as elementary OS seeks to replicate the Mac experience). For instance, Xubuntu gives me the options to create a single panel that mirrors a MacOS dock (a single column of apps and notifications that I use most often) but which also includes the ability to have every window with its own icon and also a good start menu for housing all installed apps (the whisker menu) as well as various launchers for grouping apps by tasks. In this way, I get what I like from the dock and the start menu in a way that best meets my own needs for as much window real estate as possible.
