7:34 PM EST 		Hopefully these guys won't pull a Gnome3 or Unity like seems to be the trend in FOSS-land these days. I'll agree with the commenter in the article that LO might be able to use some slightly improved icons, but that's it. Stop mucking around with our UIs.

10:15 AM EST 		As unfortunate as it is, many computer users base their first impressions of software by appearance....much like we pick dates or mates. I don't care how functional or easy-to-use it is...if it's ugly or plain, most people will call strike one on it within seconds of opening the app.

I too don't want to see them messing with functionality, but a cosmetic makeover, complete with some subtle bling has been a long time coming.
