Hi Chris
The answer I see is to make the interface configurable in as many ways
as possible, so when tabs are introduced make them optional, and same
with the way they are grouped, and sessions. Or when the page in
writer finally gets centered, allow it to use the old or new behavior.
And then provide a mechanism by which configuration sets can be saved
and loaded (an improvement in itself)
for example:
1:power user.
2:simplified.
3:Microsoft Office like.
4:Open Office Classic
This reminds me of a feature that GeoWorks had in the early 90's: Program
Levels. You could choose how much functionality you wanted in each program.
Here is a page that describes it:
