LibreOffice: The Next Five Years

I don't think the ribbon itself is a bad idea, but I absolutely hate the following two things:

1. Latency. When you click a dropdown, the whole interface can freeze for several seconds while Word presumably renders the menu or something. I can just about understand that for the fonts menu, but for the "bullets and enumerations" dropdown it's just plain bad.

2. Things moving around in the ribbon because Microsoft decided to push an auto-update to include some new search with bing or "data insights" feature.

I think they've improved it a lot since then, but I remember the Fonts menu getting incrementally slower as you piled more fonts into your system. At one time I think it actually held up Word loading entirely.
