I'll agree with that. Of course, people also say that another problem is 
a tendancy to do 'developer/power user' focused apps in favour of 
'user-focused' apps. MS-like interfaces are often "what the users's 
want" because they're generally familiar.

I often find them cluttered, with really poor use of information hiding 
etc. A weird combination of "you're a drooling moron who can't 
understand anything" and being bludgeoned to death with clutter and 
options. *uggh*.

In the specific case of OO.o, it'd be nice (other factors like time and 
complexity quietly ignored) to have a "MS-office emulation" UI and a 
"clean office suite" UI.
