Thanks!

[Daniel Eriksson]

 Hi all!I hope it is ok I send this here. I just wanted to say thanks for continuing the development of the Calligra suit. It's the best productivity suit I've ever used and I love how clear, feature-filled, smartly designed and coherent it is. It also looks excellent and fits right in with my KDE system. :) Thanks for p‎utting all this work into it! I especially like that Words works so good as a DTP tool, but I also use Stage and several others a lot. Perhaps when I get more time in the future I can help out with doing Swedish translations or beta-testing.Regards, Daniel

  I agree it's important to keep the ability to adapt to many users wishes. I 
recently started to use Calligra as i really like the current interface 
compared to many modern apps that try to hide things beneath more clicks and 
making them less discoverable, not to mention rely to much on simple 
iconography that becomes impossible to quickly pick out or memorize.
  
  Not saying there isn't room for improvements, and the third screen from 
manueljin in issue T12837  looks nice in 
some ways, for example. The important thing I want to request is to not remove 
the drop-down menus and stuff them in a hamburger menu and to not remove the 
ability to have text under or next to icons. Text makes it very clear waht each 
action do and not only makes the program extremely easy to learn, it also makes 
it quicker to find the correct option, even for seasoned users like me. For 
some user groups, such as some people with aphasia, having text-based drop-down 
menus and text next to icons can mean the difference between being able to use 
an application at all or not. Long story short, please preserve the classic 
desktop design as an option. :) Not all software needs to be able to run on 
super-small screens and less is not equal to more when it comes to software 
design. Show - don't hide! ;)
