I think I am alone in being a "power user" and loving the ribbon. I totally buy into the design philosophy of it, and I now do things with office that I couldn't or wouldn't do before.

I think there is a bit of false transference. I program therefore I'm an expert. I can honestly say that my ability at C++ or Emacs never helped me figure out how to do anything in Office. Of course, I use it rarely enough that every time might as well be the first time.

Perhaps I'm odd in that most people make deeper use of Office more often than I do?
