I hated the ribbons the first time I was introduced to them. Another list member here was actually my trainer for it and if memory serves, I think he wanted to pull out his hair lol However, I hated it because it was "new" but after I left his training sessions, I was good and after a few, I loved the ribbons and I can do without menus.
People state the ribbons are confusing and cannot find what they are looking for, I'm the opposite. When I use something with menus, I'm like, ribbons!
