I don't mind the ribbon. It's probably that I got used to it. I know my users have. I expect something just shy of pandemonium when this gets pushed out.

I remember the pandemonium when the original ribbon got rolled out. That was one of the factors in moving everyone to LibreOffice.

Sounds like the worst of all worlds to me. I'll have to take a look at it sometime before summarily dismissing it.

I'm disgusted with the EU's decision to fine Google. The EU can do one, and it looks like our government (British) is going back on the Brexit vote by not giving us the leave that we wanted. A complete mess our country is in controlled by corrupt governments.....

You're not wrong, but if there is a license fee, then there can be competing solutions. It is hard to compete with free when you don't have the resources of Alphabet behind you. Google is not good for consumers in the long run.

And probably never will. Even the technical pieces haven't really changed in decades.
