I'm with you on the UI design, Keith. The way software looks influences how people perceive its capability, and LO looks like something from the 90's. I like your design because it's attractive, yet leaves the menus in place for those users who can't get into using the ribbon.
Now on the idea of removing VBA… I hate VBA, but I'd rather see LO become *more* compatible, rather than ditching it. I want LO to become the product people can switch to, but you close the door on switchers when you reduce compatibility. I can tell you that for sure because of my own recent difficulties fixing a macro so automated data export from SAP will work with LO. Step 1: Get the world to use LO as its Office standard. Step 2: Drop M$ Office compatibility. It's too early to leap into step 2 before we accomplish step 1. Reverse the order, and LO's growth stagnates. -- Charles -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
