It’s more than that though. There are countless improvements, but the option of a more ribbon-like interface is more polished than its ever been, and in many ways more usable than the Office Ribbon. And I do emphasise that’s an option - we retain the old UI and will always do so for users. We haven’t forced a radical change on them because we actually value our power users.

Aside from way better compatibility improvements with Office interfaces, there are stability fixes, we’ve done extensive document fuzzing, improvements to mail merge, updated our table styles, a huge improvement to our grammar checker, way better OpenPGP integration, a complete rewrite of the EMF+ filters (that has been a huge effort, and a much bigger impact in handling Office docs than you might realise)... the list is huge!

edit: I’ve been rate limited, no idea why (check my history for the last month if you don’t believe me...) so if you want info about the project from a contributor I sadly can’t provide info on HN till someone lifts the rate-limit.
