Some OpenOffice developers announced, few time ago, a great (in their minds) project: Trying to copy ugly, unusable Ribbon interface, made by Micro$oft for Word and other Office products

This Ribbonized GUI has already several negative comments by Micro$oft users, so, why trying to copy a poor GUi instead to analyze and solve serious issues present in OpenOffice? (it has many serious issues)

if you Agree with me (and many other) please sign petition, so we can stop OpenOffice renaissance (or middle age?) not useful project, and developpers can avoid to stress and go to solve issues

I support this petition. For the love of all things sacred please do not do anything to the interface. THIS IS WHY I SWITCHED FROM MS OFFICE 2003 IN THE FIRST PLACE!

I support this petition -- particularly if the goal is to REPLACE the current interface with the Ribbon. If there is an easy choice between the two, I might support the ADDITION, not replacement!

Do not copy the ribbon bar, it is the single reason I have switch from MsOffice to OpenOffice.

I support this petition. Stop disfiguring the UI of the OOo. The work with the applications is quite effective at the moment. I am forced to work with the MSOffice 2007 and I hate the imagination that the same UI will be introduced to OOo!
