This is one of the reasons why I get pissed off about interface changes to make the UI of any program (and this includes OOo that *did* undergo such changes) more alike to "MS guidelines" or "MS products", often masking this behind the "usability" buzzword. Apparently, MS can revolutionize the interface every other release, and it's good innovation, but other software are "clumsy to use" when they have a different interface?
