I'd like to know which components are most used and maybe why others are
not. If you used OpenOffice before you can include your usage data as well.

Do you use the quick starter?

No!

I always turn the damn thing off, and it annoys me that the "quick starter" (aka needlessly-slow-down-my-PC-startup-time) is still ON by default. No application should be so arrogant as to start-up with the OS per default. You don't know what apps the users *typically* uses (I browse and play RAM-hungry games). I can't (well, it's OSS, so I can) believe this dreaded default hasn't been turned off by now.

Mozilla/Firefox also experimented with a quick starter for a while, and fortunately abolished the horrid idea.

It seems OO (and LO even more so) still hasn't understood the REAL reason why people overwhelmingly choose non-OSS software (Firefox being the *exception*): Usability, and a rational understanding what a regular user *really* is (clue: it's not you).
