By default the ribbon is hidden: http://i.imgur.com/5hxOIcb.png

I don't use Windows, but it's important to use fair comparisons.

You have to expand it and be faced with that hodgepodge of cluttered buttons to perform many functions. Even with it collapsed, it's still 4! toolbars (counting the buttons in the title bar and the ones in the bottom status bar) and a menu (?) style that is inconsistent with many other built-in Windows apps.

You don't really have to expand it for typical day-to-day operations - everything of interest is in the context menu.
