I am of a like mind in this. I have no liking for ribbon menus, I'm
uncertain they are an improvement. I am certain they are not an
improvement for me.
They appear to be fancy for its own sake and not at all clear for quick
use. But then I am not a windows user and therefore use them very
occasionally. Only use them to try to find things for windows users who
also have a problem finding things they want, when using them.
Just my thoughts.
