What's so bad about libreoffice? It's no worse than ms office, actually it's better because there are no stupid ribbons.

LibreOffice added the ribbon earlier this year. It's optional and not the default.

Also, I understand most users like the ribbon in MS Office. Most vocal people appear not to, but I recall an article about a survey and most ranged from indifferent to positive.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This one is possible, but might be difficult. It's currently a single developer who approves all code additions with no version control to sync things up. i.e. You have to manually maintain your own fork of the codebase

KeepassX.org then? (Completely different project team & codebase IIRC)

KeepassX isn't active anymore. KeepassXC is the new active fork.

You're right about the ribbons, but toolbars on top of toolbars isn't really any better.
