Thrilled. I recently started trying LibreOffice thanks to a friend of mine and I admit that as someone used to Microsoft Office or Google Workspace, I feel like a total idiot always searching up “how to [do something] libreoffice”.
Sad for others but still thrilled for myself, because I use LibreOffice on my Mac. This will only be a problem when my Mac kicks the bucket and I have to get a new laptop which will run Linux.
It is such a powerfull software and capable of so much, at least LibreOffice Calc, which I use a lot. But the UI doesn’t keep up with it, a lot feels hidden. And that is a shame, because it prevents new users to see that it is a great alternative.

That doesn’t make you an idiot, instead it indicates how bad the UI of LibreOffice is.
And they hired someone with a focus on the MacOS-Version, so don’t hold your breath for any improvements in the foreseeable future on other platforms.

Do you really think it’s that bad? Is it modern? No. But is it necessarily bad? At least I don’t think so.
I think it focuses on consitency with other FOSS Software. And the consensus currently seems to be a focus on sidebars, which I personally like.
But also: I know nothing about UX/I design or design in genreal D
