Hello, dror, Björn,
it appears to me that the question involving the Ribbon(tm) is a little
misleading, partly because of the use of the name 'ribbon'. I'm not
pretty sure what the question is, and reading it I feel I have only two
choices: a) don't answer, b) choose the one that don't mention the
ribbon, since I don't like it (if I did like it, then it would be the
other way around). If the question is not "do you like M$ Ribbon
design?", I'd suggest not mentioning it at all.
If the question is about dynamic menus, then the concept needs
clarification.
Cheers.
Rafael

Here is another attempt, hope it will be clearer:
(-) Many information at all levels, but less levels (low menu deepness) →
Many menu items in few levels: E.g. choose Bold/Italic/Underline directly
under Format menu item. (More clutter, fewer clicks).
(-) Less information at all levels, but more levels (high menu depth) → Few
menu items in more levels: E.g. choose Bold/Italic/Underline from a
Character item under Format menu item. (Less clutter, more clicks).
and for another question:
(-) Pooled toolbar without separation of main menu and toolbar (Ribbons,
e.g. new versions of Microsoft Office since 2007 → Ribbon style toolbar
(like in MS-Office, version 2007 and onwards): Pooled toolbar without
separation of main menu and toolbar.
(-) Classic separation in main menu and toolbar (e.g. menu control in
LibreOffice) → A classic menu and set of toolbars (like in LibreOffice,
OpenOffice and old versions of MS-Office).
