    The Office ribbon is more recent than the previous menu styles, but newer!=better. The ribbon organizes fewer commands into less coherent groups, and replaced the descriptive text menu option for each setting with a tiny glyph instead, creating a modern hieroglyphic system known only to them. It then made sure this less efficient workflow took up more of the already limited vertical monitor real estate. The only benefit I can see would be for the illiterate, but what are they using an office site for if they can’t read?
