No, I cannot disagree with this more strongly.

There's nothing good about it that you couldn't do better with customizable toolbars before.

If there are ways to customize it now, I'm not smart enough to do it anymore.

Right click, customize the ribbon. You can set it up however you want.

Or just set it to show only tabs and treat it like a fancy menu bar.

Or hide it completely and just use the command search feature Office apps have in them now. It is like a command line with amazing auto-complete. Alt-q to jump to search.

Or just use the Quick Access Toolbar. I have it set up with all of my most used commands that I know the icon for.
