Heiko, you know I want the exact opposite. I hate ribbons and tabbed interfaces
and never use them myself.

But - we have  decided it's not going to be a dichotomy: We have a toolbar +
menu interface, and we have the "noteboookbar". Well, the "notebookbar" does
need "non-classical" controls. Sleek or not - framed groups are an important
aspect of MSO ribbons, and we don't have them. We have something which is a bit
like a toolbar made to look like a ribbon, but not all the way there.

That is the case both before framed groups are available and afterwards.

Huh? How do you mean? It's just a request for a new kind UI element. And of
course it's possible. Are you saying that it would be a lot of work? Possibly.
But I'm not claiming this is needs to be done immediate and right now before
anything else. That's not a reason to make it INV.

There are lots of members of our community who are clamoring for a better
tabbed/ribbon-y interface, and this request is part of achieving that.
