LibreOffice default toolbar survey results are out! The short survey was conducted some days back.
Based on the survey results, the proposed toolbar is developed as below:
LibreOffice Writer Default toolbar – proposed
On the question “Do you agree with hiding of clipboard functions from the toolbar?” the results are below:

And for – Do you agree with hiding the paragraph background color button in the toolbar?
| Options | All | Toolbar buttons |
Other methods |
| Yes | 81 (34%) | 44 (24%) | 37 (71%) |

| I don’t know what you are talking about |
18 (8%) | 13 (7%) | 5 (10%) |
And based on survey results, probably the cut-copy-paste icons would be removed from default toolbar. The changes are expected to be in LibreOffice 4.5 release. Personally I think the paste icon should be kept.
For advanced users, the toolbar always can be configured based on needs.
