Thank god

I wouldn't expect the UI/UX to magically improve, in the same way that e.g. Audacity's is, or Blender's did back in the day.

LibreOffice is ancient and enormous. It would take a decent sized team several years to overhaul its UX.

Has Audacity gotten better since I used it as a teen to record songs around 2010? Loved the product but my god was it ever tough to look at.
