Because it is not "Intuitive".  The goal is to make OO Write the "Easiest to use
word processor in the history of computing".  Placing a "Toolbar", which the
help menu does refer to the Navigator as, in "Obscure" pull down in "not
intuitive". 

Why not place it in the "File" pull down; why not place it in "help".
It is a "Toolbar".  Everyone expects "Toolbars" to be found somewhere in the
"View" menu.

Those already using this toolbar probably are activating it with the obscure
icon on the lower right verticle scrollbar.  This, by the way, is where the help
menu tells you to find it, not in any of the pull down menus.  

And, obscure icons are okay, ONLY as long as they are duplicated in an
"Intuitive" pull down menu.

Here is a compromise: make the change in OO 3 Beta.  Everyone expects
things to change in a Beta.  No one will be bothered by making it make
intuitive sense to the user.

It is the "little touches" that will make OO Write more user friendly.

I have been trying to spread OO over my customer base in two counties.
The results are not positive.  They do not like all the endless bugs
and all the weird, non-intuitive ways of doing things, like one toolbar
in the edit menu and the rest in view.  Like, entering return in the
upper left cell to enter a new line between two tables.  Like, "I just
want to print a single envelope!".

So please, spend a little time on making OO Write easier and more intuitive
to use and less time on new features.  Make OO Writer intuitive and easy to
use and customers will beat your doors down.  There is a real need 
out there for a quality word processor at a reasonable price. Right now
OO Writer is not it.  But, it holds the potential to become it.  Let's
start making it so with the "little touches".

How did I do?  Did I convince you?  Hopefully I did not insult anyone.  I
really appreciate all your work.
