I agree it is more friendly for newbies, but I guess it is quite easy to figure out what are these letters with a few tries. The only problem I see is that words may be much longer in some languages, that means less space for the tips in the toolbar.
* The style swatches at the right end of object-creating tools'control bars now open the Preferences page of the corresponding tool when clicked. Also, now these swatches display a tooltip explaining its purpose (e.g. "Style of new rectangles", "Style of new calligraphic strokes", etc.)
Very good feature !
