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
I just uninstalled it because it's impossible to have a normal full sized static scroll bar that doesn't disappear and has buttons. For an application centered around scrolling, this is a major major major flaw.
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.
