Does it still look like it's from 1998?

It works very well for my light personal needs, but I find the UI to be an eyesore...

To be fair, they've had the option to switch to that unusable ribbon thing Microsoft switched to for a while now.

Thankfully, it's not the default.

The ribbon UI sure is shit.

LO has a command palette which is handy when looking for obscure functions. Shift esc.
