just don't have a clue how big the task "New user interface" really is - for a software that is- as old as the LibreOffice codebase
- as huge as LibreOffice
- runs on multiple operating systems
Anyway, we shouldn't waste our time with that. The article came with news about Qt6-Support evolving, which is good news!
Translation:
"Anyway, I'm going to TRY and totally change the subject because this is turning out badly for me..."

For the functions I really use in LibreOffice (meaning "more often") I define my own shortcuts. There is no faster way.
I have colleges who switched to LibO, who found MS Word "complicated" after some time. They once said the same about LibO, so I really think it only depends on what you are used to.

After 10 years of many commits as you say, the suite should look and feel VASTLY different and better than what it is today. I supported them when they forked and I feel so fooled today.

Here's a big, big suggestion, rocket scientist: don't read it / them.
And the proper word is "nor"; not "neither"; get some grammar lessons. Quickly. (They won't help with all those other, more serious problems, however.)
Try again; of this WE can all be certain.
Do better next time.

Worst, some UI elements that were ugly 10 years ago are still here and still ugly today. Instead of abstracting the UI to support many libs, they should just redo it without abstraction, clean, for once and for all!

...Only problem is that apparently most LO users are not equipped to realize---or admit to the fact of---how often they have been, and are continually being, not just fooled, but taken for fools.

With free and open source software, you get back control – over your software, your data, and your computer as a whole. And in the LibreOffice community, we strive to create the best user experience, but we also recognise that different users have different requirements. To this end, LibreOffice includes three main user interface designs, […]
Why should LIbreOffice look different? It looks like everyone expects office software to look like. The list of improvements is MASSIVE and I can't wrap my mind around the people claiming nothing has changed... what do you think all of those commits have been for? It's OpenOffice whose only commits nowadays are changes to the dictionary or language translations.
Comparison of LibreOffice and OpenOffice. LibreOffice is the evolution of OpenOffice, with extra features, better Microsoft compatibility, and regular releases.
Just in 2020 there were over 17,000 code commits and people are saying "Nothing's changed!" That may be because you're one of the majority of people who only use about 1% of the features in any office product, so you don't notice all the changes. OOXML support, multithreaded support for calc, PDF support, Epub export... there have been a great deal of changes.
LibreOffice is the successor project to OpenOffice, which had its last major release (4.1) back in 2014, as you can see in this timeline – click to enlarge. And, of course, it’s still free and open source: We release a new major version every six months – so let’s check out some of the great […]
Just look at all the improvements in a single release....
