I disagree. I work in a computer shop and we install LO of all new computers we
sell to customers so they have a good office suite and so they don't have to
buy into the Microsoft monopoly. However, some customers prefer the "old
school" interface of a traditional menu, while others prefer the "ribbon bar"
or Tabbed interface. 

In many cases we have a husband and wife who use the same computer and one
prefers one style and the other the other style, but don't want to have to
change it every time they open the program.

Some folks, like myself, prefer to have both options so we can choose
immediately how we want to access certain tools without having to switch
interfaces. It's like having the best of both worlds at the same time.

My issue is not a matter of choosing one over the other. The issue is that if
you turn on the Menubar, you can't just turn it on in all modules at once (ie.
Writer, Calc, Impress) like you can when you turn on the Tabbed Interface.
There is no "Apply To All" button. You have to turn it on separately in each
module once the Tabbed Interface is active by going to the "View" tab in each
module and clicking "Menubar".

I would like to see an "Apply To All" or "Apply Menubar To All" button when
enabling the Menubar so it applies to all modules at once.
