Sure if you are a basic user it’s no issue. Basic being someone using 1% of the feature set. The moment you start developing any skills in office there is an actual difference in the product. Like I already said, MacOS did not have ribbon shortcuts until a few months ago. That’s simply insulting that such a core function for users would be missing.

The ribbon is a UI providing a way to access functions, not a core function in itself.

Are we arguing if ribbon shortcuts are not a core function?? I don’t know why we are even going down this road but… for any user that has moderate level of use in excel, the keyboard shortcuts are used so heavily that they absolutely become a core function to the use of the platform. Power users in finance may even go to the extreme of popping out certain key caps on their keyboard to reduce most roles and maximize their efficiency.
