LibreOffice will get a shitty looking Ribbon clone. http://

free software != open source

>>58755075
Retarded normalfags kept bitching it wasn't the ribbon and they delivered and you're still not satisfied? You fucking faggot.

>>58755170
Are you insinuating that the ribbon isn't the single greatest feature Windows has contributed to the computing world?

>>58755170
Well I'm using Office. I just wanted freetards to defend their complete lack of creativity.

>>58755075
Hope they will not drop old toolbars for this abomination.

damn

thanks winnigers for ruining shit for everyone else.

Nice drop-down menus, fatty.

all free software is open source

don't forget that there are people who get lost while using someone else's computer and can't close the window because the "X" button isn't red like on their windows 7/windows 8 machine.

despite being placed in exactly the same area of the window

Both statements are true. How about you fagets come up with something original? Oh wait, I know. Designers don't work for free, only autistic Pajeet coders do.

>>58755075

What "innovation" do you want out of LibreOffice, exactly? They're just following the market leader, which is the smart thing to do.

>>58755075
Will it be optional?

>>58755815
Yes. It's not even enabled by default

Honestly, this is kind of exciting. Word 2010 is the only thing keeping me on Windows.

>>58755597
If its not broke don't fix it.

It's optional.

>>58756214
The current UI in libreoffice is hideous and cluttered as fuck though.

Organizing the buttons into logical groups and eliminating redundant toolbars by combining them with the dropdown menus makes a lot of sense.

>>58755214
>Well I'm using Office. I just wanted freetards to defend their complete lack of creativity.
Oh, the man who made an open source compiler and refused to pay AT&T for their proprietary compiler license and ushered BSD not to donate their code to them? Is it his lack of creativity you're talking about? Or perhaps the lack of creativity of a man who made one of the most widely used kernels which is necessary for scientific research, weather forecast, stock market, supercomputers?

What is wrong with you? Which old UI are you even talking about? Are you aware that KDE exists? And here's what Libre Office looks like on Antergos KDE.

>>58756385
The stock market and supercomputers*

I don't use pleb office software anymore, but ribbon was actually a nice UI.

Glad to see libreoffice is experimenting with it.

>>58755075
What the fuck? Ribbon is a disaster. The lack of ribbon is a massive reason to use libreoffice over M$ office in the first place. What the fuck is going on in the software industry? After the death of firefox and linux, this? What next, emacs gives up on plugins completely? FUCK!

>>58756385
>omg a literal 1:1 clone is totally not lack of creativity!!1

>>58756889
It's optinal and currently not even enabled by default, you fucking retard!

>>58757189
Optional now, but in soon enough the old UI will be legacy.

>>58756889
ribbons are superior to menus and toolbars

get your head out of your ass and stop hating on it just because microshaft implemented it

>He doesn't use the ribbon

Why do you fags keep insisting on using outdated shit? From designs, to features, to hardware, you freetards are always 10 years behind

>>58755075
You don't have to use it, dumbass. Fuck off.

Really don't care if can't innovate. All I care is that they provide a product that's functional and easy to use. So far it does both.
What are they gonna innovate anyways? A new way to place icons on the screen? Meaningless

Good for you, but why push for Office software in a "technology" board?
I mean, has /g fallen this low?

>>58758269
why not?

>>58758285
Because it's the lowest tier "professional" software, people who use it generally aren't very tech literate, but given the current state of /g I don't expect much.

>>58758323
aww that's cute, do you get your opinions from all the other cool kiddos on the meme boards?

>>58758348
I wasn't insulting you, there is no need to become defensive.
People who generally use Office is because they are stuck in a wageslave job and/or because they don't know better (LaTeX and R for example)

>>58758360
Pretty much exactly this

>>58758360
This, Wish people would stop pandering to the lowest common denominator.

>>58758373
yeah because latex and R are good replacements for excel and outlook.

>>58758323
you don't have a real job. end of discussion.

>>58758408
>R are good replacements for excel
Pretty much yes, every SQL software is plain better, and if you are into data analysis R is the industry standard.
>outlook
I just don't care about a webmail client
>muh exchange
Again, not an office drone so I really don't care.

>>58756421

R is a statistical analysis and graph generator, matlab's better anyway

Who cares? I only ever click up there when I don't remember the keyboard shortcut, which is seldom. LibreOffice's keyboard shortcuts are superior to MS Office too.

>>58758457
yeah Matlab is really good, specially if you work with sensors.

I like ribbon but it's too bad side panels never took off. Are there applications that heavily use side panels?

>>58756901
What are you even talking about?

They could have made libreoffice usable.

Instead, they just want to change the UI. Really, at this point if you're using LibreOffice is because you don't know about O2016RTool or you're stuck using loonix

>>58755495
no, league is free, as in free to play and other common expressions. You don't get to redefine the word free
use libre or some other word

>>58755075
They shouldn't even try to be innovative about that part of gui. People are used to it and everything is on easily customized toolbars. A ribbon is an UNNECESSARY change made just for the sake of doing something just so they can say "look at this, we did this, we are working hard, here's something new"

Retards trying to get into equally retarded managers asses. Also faggots.

>>58755409
>t. baby duck who worships the ancient office 95/97 toolbar system
Hopefully you'll get everything else we enjoyed in 2007 soon.

Who cares. It makes no difference at all.

>>58755075
It's better than Wordgrinder.

>>58761936
>you'll get

nah

>>58761902
>b-but it's customizable
Please, you only like that clunk-ass shit because it's all you know. The old monolithic toolbar system is a horridly ugly waste of space and it was long overdue for a shitcanning.

And please stop using muh aesthetics as a crutch, if you lose your shit over such trivial micromanagement of your software I'd reckon you spend more time dicking around and jerking off to your "productive workflow" than actually getting shit done.

>Not wanting a system where you can make changes on the fly without having to open extra windows

Google Docs is superior to MS Office and LibreOffice.

>easily collaborate with people online
>can work from your phone and on any computer you'll encounter
>it's free as in free

thank god. I switched to libreoffice because of the ribbon cancer, I don't want to switch again.

>>58762687
>muh baby duck syndrome
i bet you also prefer the Start menu (activated with a button on the taskbar) instead of a full-screen Start screen

>>58755075
Based. Ribbon is amazing, the only people who don't like it are middle aged women who are used to "working" in Office 2003.

>>58762613
spatially, it groups tools and actions better

>cloning something is now considered a bad thing
are you saying that GNU cloning ash was a bad decision? Because bash is one of the best shells ever.

>>58755352
Microsoft ® Office © Ribbon™ > Microsoft ® Office © no ribbon

>>58755597
Drop down

Ribbons

This ribbon isn't even enabled by default when you install 5.3.

You have to :


Turn on experimental features by going to Tools > Options > LibreOffice General > Advanced > Experimental features.
Enable the “Notebook bar” ribbon by going to View > Toolbar Layout > Default/Single toolbar/Sidebar/Notebookbar and select from the three available modes.

>>58755075
Because when people want a free alternative to something, they expect it to work exactly as the original, so the only people who will pay to drive development are the ones who wants to make it a MSOffice clone.

Is it that hard to grasp?
