How do you feel about the Ribbon UI?


Recommended Posts

For Windows 8 themers, the Ribbon is a pain because you cannot change it's appearance without modding the system dlls. So for me, I always end up disabling it with ONE (OldNewExplorer). To be honest, I don't see the real benefits of Ribbon in Explorer, but in productivity apps (Office, SolidWorks, etc.), I find it more practical than the old menu.

It exposes more features to the non-power users. That's why they included the ability to minimise it for people that already know what Explorer is capable of.

 

I disagree with the idea for it to be minimised by default, though. It should be visible by default, I am pretty sure most power users are capable of hiding it, though I can't say the opposite.
