Microsoft's UI is "intuitive" only because people are familiar with it.

It's rather a usability disaster so it's best not to follow them. A thing
to remember is that in addition to encroaching on MS Office turf (formerly
WordPerfect, formerly WordStar) is that OOo is getting into many new
markets that MS Office can't and won't get into. No need to bring old
garbage / baggage into new markets. This is an opportunity to move
forward instead.

Their priority should be to make OOo fully a11y compliant.
Then add the eye candy that minimizes productivity, and maximizes
system resources that accomplish nothing.
