I look at the change to ribbons through the lens of: "Would they have done it if they had viable competitors?", and I have to think that there's no way MS would have. Everyone would have laughed their way right over to Word Perfect.

Perhaps it makes things easier for new users, but only without competitors where they able to shoe-horn it in for everybody.

Now I use it on a Mac where there are still menus on the top and I can get stuff done. I wish there was an option to enable the menus (and fine, leave the ribbon if you must) on Windows.
