It doesn't, the people want it to play catch-up.
Not everyone wanted/needed that ribbon interface..

>>58988715
Correct.

>>58986821
libreoffice is on par with MS office right now, so I will never buy MS shit again

When is OpenOffice getting the ribbon?

>>58988868
Why do people even think about openoffice?

What they should be doing is fixing their fucking Powerpoint alternative. Writer is very good, Calc i pretty good, only their presentation software still sucks dick.

It's not playing 'catch up' it's "slowly committing suicide by pandering to normalfags"

the ribbon meme is the dumbest shit ever happened to office software.

>>58986821
ribbon is overrated imho. MS office is just so bloated it need a drop down menu to store all of it's bloat that no one uses.

>I don't use it therefore no one uses it

It's almost as if Microsoft Office was made versatile as to be applicable to many peoples and professions.
