I think this would be long overdue, the guys in the design team could do with
some support with all the hard work that they do. You could get a real product
vision to follow from a design perspective.

And I would wholeheartedly encourage this to be taken to the ESC for
consideration. The UI is the gateway to the functionality of the office suite,
what should LibreOffice be doing as a project to facilitate this, gain new
users and ultimately aim for in the coming years? It might be pride for some to
state that no changes are needed in the current UI, but in all honesty what is
in the best interests of LibreOffice users now and attracting new users in the
future? 

My opinion is a familiar functioning UI by default (with an option to revert
back easily to 'classic UI') robust open file formats and best in class
Microsoft Office compatibility is the best way to accomplish this objective.
