    A lot of really good professional software doesn’t “look” modern though. Just look at Blender. Or, like, most IDEs. Or Vim.

    Personally, after using LibreOffice for a while, I’ve gotten used to it. Google Docs, though far from a shining jewel of an office suite, is much more popular than LibreOffice, and it also uses a similarly simple UI.

        I think LibreOffice can replicate that somewhat by just switching to a minimalist theme without as many borders. I mean, that’s what Google did for Android and it was a massive success.
