I am not in favor of such an addition for Xubuntu.

Linux, for good or ill, has been about variety and choice. What I like
about switching to Linux is that it forces changes in how I did things
previously.

And, I think LibreOffice is an excellent and worthy replacement for MS Word.

I disagree with those who want to replicate the start menu from Windows
or the Dock from MacOS as the entire focus of a distribution (such as
elementary OS seeks to replicate the Mac experience).

For instance, Xubuntu gives me the options to create a single panel that
mirrors a MacOS dock (a single column of apps and notifications that I
use most often) but which also includes the ability to have every window
with its own icon and also a good start menu for housing all installed
apps (the whisker menu) as well as various launchers for grouping apps
by tasks.

In this way, I get what I like from the dock and the start menu in a way
that best meets my own needs for as much window real estate as possible.
See my setup page for various pics of this layout:

take care,
