Tabs go back well in to the nineties. Netscape Navigator was using them.
Microsoft at one point declared IE6 their last browser which is why we were stuck with it for years. The single most useless and insecure browser in the world.

No, not in the MS world they didn't. They were 'inspired' as we all are, from competition. I remember using Maxthon for aan IBM job tracking system that only really worked with IE6. Maxthon made it bearable to use. Imagine trying hammer nails with your fist. Interesting to note they've taken it further with 2013/2016 with the menu system also being tabuler.
Firefox had tabs for ages and MS basically waited IE6 to "give the world a revolution"

It was a hint of what was yet to come (windows 8), wastage of space because bigger buttons are better for touch (on a device witout a touchscreen).
*what a crude way to call traditional. Almost like calling English, English UK....

That's it. They didn't invent the things. They just implemented them. Sure, they're ridiculous looking and take up monumental amounts of horizontal real estate inthe default setting, but there was nothing incredibly new about them when they came out in 2006 (MS Office 2007).

If you do some serious work in Excel/Words and used LO before you would recognize pretty fast how bad Ribbon is.
Be happy that the LO devs will provide it an option.
Regarding the performance issues I have to say that starshipeleven is right. You waste your time by registering, complaining and trolling here. If you would be interested in a real alternative to your holy M$ office cow, you would contribute to LO by filing bug reports.
Mostly it's a problem for the devs to get sample data which cause the issue. So use your data, anonymize it and file a bug report for the devs.
But doing nothing and complaining about how broken everything is, is idiotic. If you can register here, you can register at the bug tracker. If you can write here, you can write to the bug-tracker. If you can't, don't complain.

And I doubt this to be a driver issue otherwise everything else running on this system ends up crawling. Btw: Radon on this Notebook using the driver stuff that Fedora installs by default.
