Windows/Mac/Linux: LibreOffice has always been powerful enough to stand up against Microsoft Office, but it’s also been a bit ugly and clunky to use. A new update the overhauls the user interface and makes it a lot more useable.
The menu bars, context menus, toolbars, status bars and even the rulers are all completely redesigned. Likewise, the sidebar is a lot more useful and easier to use. Beyond that, there are plenty of under-the-hood improvements to go along with the new look, including a significantly better Track Changes feature in Writer, better import filters for a variety of apps, and a new OpenGL framework on Windows that improves transitions. If you’ve been avoiding LibreOffice because of its look and feel, now’s the time to check it out again.

Not sure I’d want to go back to a toolbar from the ribbon, seems painful.
