I'd like to provide an example of how this interface can cause problems:
I have a project I've been working on for school, involving the use of macros in excel. I wanted to view the raw macros to edit them. There is no 'macros' buton or menu item to be found anywhere in the 'ribbon' or in right-click context menus. And even worse, the help provides no clue WHATSOEVER about where to find this simple and very important option. I was forced to install an older version of office or use OpenOffice to simply get to code that is already there. It's inconcievable that the ability to get to your macros has been removed fom Excel, so this is purely down to bad interface design.
