    Still, LibreOffice has a nicer GUI than Microsoft Office: the former’s “Sidebar” makes more efficient use of modern widescreen monitors than the latter’s “Ribbon”, which predates them.

    I use GIMP in MDI mode.

    GIMP’s “single-window” versus “multi-window” modes are nothing to do with
    “SDI” versus “MDI”, which are specific to the design (and limitations) of
    the Microsoft Windows GUI.

    "Ribbon" in LO is broken, beceuse it not contains all options available
    in menu. This is reason that "Ribbon" in LO is not usable every day - it
    is just proof of concept.

    "Ribbon" in LO is broken ...

    As I said, LibreOffice doesn’t have a Ribbon.
