Actually, the UI can be changed to one of several different variants by selecting View > User Interface... It has 7 options to choose from. If you like the newer "ribbon" style UI, then select the "Tabbed" UI variant.
This is one thing I really like about LO. People familiar with older MS Office can be comfortable in it, but it can also be changed for people more familiar with or preferring the "ribbon" UI.
