--- Comment #26 from John Mills <jmills59 at yahoo.com> ---
I agree with Thorsten here, I see this as an issue of benefit vs loss.

Does changing the default UI benefit LibreOffice in the longer term by bringing
new users to the software and hopefully contributors to the project?

Yes / No

If No stop here

If Yes then proceed, but please choose something that would have the maximum
benefit to the widest possible audience. 

I draw attention to one of the latest comments in the forum Thread that Heiko
linked to earlier:

A few things:

(1) The speed of LO is significantly better now. It's way snappier than before.

(2) There is still some compatibility stuff when saving as docx. When saving as
docx and converting that to PDF, I had a terrible issue last night where the
spacing of my footnotes was way off. If I saved as ODT, that issue went away.

(3) The tabbed layout should be the default. Or like someone else said, have a
brief setup wizard on the first run to let people choose. I had no idea it even
existed and its WAY more intuitive and similar to MS Office layout.
