I like the ribbon interface. When it first came out I thought it was terrible but then after actually using it I found that I like it much more.

I don't hate them...
And I didn't say it in meaning that. I meant it more in the "no surprise that you say it". You are the specialist finding counter-arguments for almost every possible conversation

That's easy, but I only do it when they are honest opinions of mine.
Speaking of which, I'd really like to know what everyone is so upset about a few threads down below regarding Elon Musk piping directly to the brain. Apparently I have a different point of view again and I don't understand what everyone is so upset about.

MS is doing a wonderful job in promoting LibreOffice just because they are unable to bring back the classical menu.
They confound different and better.

Teasing something new.. They undermining the default UI, trying to be the next best thing (and never are).
They are not recognizable in general as part of the normal UI, don't increase production, add costs for the new UI without adding profit, and generally piss me off.
The Office UI is a school-example of bad habits. Over the years it has proven to be a river of idiots, and it keeps proving exactly that. It should be disbanded and all participants fired.

And the great thing is it could be viewed ambiguously, with one side saying look at all the 'fake news.' So it kinda escapes the soapbox-y-ish-ness!
