I personally would love to get rid of the need to use the menu bar and have it hidden by default in the future (far, far future, from the looks of it), so I'd prefer to see some work done on toolbars rather than on the menu bar. In any case, I believe the file menu is stuck at being a text-only list, given restrictions posed by Mac OS X (correct me if I'm wrong). That said, we could certainly try to redesign the Properties dialog sometime (once an interested developer shows up; right now, we're prioritizing other things). Cloud synchronization should be a task for the new Start Center and template browsing should be covered by the Template dialog (which I'm still hoping will get just a 2-level hierarchy and single-click to open). On an unrelated note, would it be possible to have client-side decorations (like in e.g. http://spiceofdesign.deviantart.com/art/Writer-Concept-351501580) in LibreOffice?
