I sent this message because I have had decade-long experiences with OpenOffice, WPS, Microsoft Office, Mac OS's own office suite and Latex. I think OpenOffice needs to improve its UI if it wants to compete with its competitors. In China, it's outrun by WPS and in US it's outrun by Microsoft. Even with a less-advanced technical core, a better UI design can lead to much higher popularity.

Currently the UI is too heavy. What is meant by this? Is it about so-called "ribbons" or is the question to be understood more comprehensively? I ask because: I personally don't like ribbons (which is no argument) and I can't see that ribbons improve the operating efficiency. On the other hand, it would be interesting to hear suggestions if they mediate something other than "ribbons". greetings, Jörg btw.: What has become of this? https://www.computer-blog.net/software/open-office-neue-bedienoberflache/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
