* Simplified options dialogs
You seem to have ignored the basic problem with how this bug has been handled, which I pointed out in comment: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90989#c9
+ name, icons, interface, colors, ui lang, locale, and recovery should be sufficient (Heiko)
Sufficient for what? I don't know, that sounds fishy.
+ RTL/CTL/CJK is important (Hossein) but should follow the locale (Heiko),
Nope, shouldn't follow the locale. And that's because: 1. Very often, RTL/CTL-focused language users use computers with a non-RTL/CTL locale - either on their own computers or others' computers. 2. People may be reading, or even writing, RTL/CTL content despite that not being their locale-relevant language (e.g. immigrants and the language of their country of origin).
and if a more complex setup is needed the advanced mode is a click away
I am wary that relegating settings to "advanced mode" is a way of avoiding the problem of dialog simplicity rather than actually tackling it. That's generally. For RTL/CTL specifically, I _know_ that this is the case - because all of those RTL/CTL(/CJK) users will need the "advanced" mode even when they don't want to "advanced" thing.
+ could be done conditionally depending on locale setting (Sahil)
Again, not good enough.
+ more tabs might be required in future (Hossein); possibly easier to use than a scrolling window (Sahil)
Let's start by separating out the app-wide & module-wide settings from the document-specific settings. And then, we should probably separate out the default-template-ish settings out of there too, like default fonts and stuff.
