I'm a part of the tech department for an awesome investigative journalism network called OCCRP. I'm really passionate about open source software, artificial intelligence and information security. My open source contributions are now merged with projects like reddit, elementary OS and the Tor Project. I'm running a personal blog where I share my personal stories.

Well I love LibreOffice primarily because it's open source AND has no ribbon-like interface. I do think that LibreOffice could do some things to improve its design, but I would absolutely hate it if they switch to the ribbon interface. I'm kind of happy to hear that they have no intention to switch to it in the future.
Actually, elementary OS started as a set of GNOME themes, but continued its development with building a Desktop Environment on their own called Pantheon. It shares some principles with the GNOME, but it was actually built from scratch.
As for the security, that's the beauty of Linux. People are free to use whatever fits them the best. I'm comfortable with using Ubuntu-based distribution. Other people might not be and that's perfectly fine. They have plenty of other choices available. There is an interest in porting Pantheon to other distributions as well, but unfortunately, elementary team does not have enough resources to do it and support it on their own.
As for the advertisement, this article is written as a part of the My Linux Story series, which means that it naturally contains some personal recommendations. As such, it's not representing the opinion of the entire team, only my personal opinion.
