I think you and many of the downvoters are missing my point:
If the default setting leads me to an UI, where I, an average user, needs so long to find such a basic function, then the UI is bad. And I am very patient, but if you want to convince the average MS Office user, that Linux + LibreOffice is an alternative, then it needs to be better then this.
And I am obviously disappointet that they hired someone with a focus on MacOS and not Linux, where a big UI/UX overhaul would be needed. It sais in the article, that the new hire will also look at overall improvements beside MacOS, but that won’t be enough to polish the UX to the point where people would prefer LibreOffice over MS Office.
Can you remember the first time you used any MS office software ? Yeah that’s right, like a toddler trying to stand up and walk for the first time…
We are so used to MS that we can’t switch to anything else, because evey other software doesn’t do it the “same way as MS”.
It’s not a question if LibreOffice works the same as MS Office, but how much time you’re willing to invest to learn a new tool that isn’t Microsoft.
If your 30 years MS experience isn’t able to switch paradigm with that change, that’s okay… Just stay with Microsoft and let the newer generation take the lead :)
<15 seconds.
Including starting LibreOffice Writer. This is on a 5400RPM HDD and Writer was definitely not cached, since I haven’t opened it in days.
Now how long did it take to start MS Word on my laptop again?
