User Interface
BeoStyx 18th May 2009
I agree wholeheartedly with the parent post. And I keep seeing posts where people are saying the user interface is the same as 2007. Sure the Ribbon concept remains, and I can just barely tolerate the line delimiters between the different groups, but now the section titles are NOT clearly separate from the icons? They mix in with the Icons and drop downs? Now we have a "View" icon and wait, another "View" description right below it? At least the 2007 has a clear separation for the section title.

This new interface (and I'm pretty sure this won't change, a la Wordpad and Paintbrush in Windows 7) just rubs me the wrong way. Right now it looks like one big monotone mish-mash, not clear and organized like today's Ribbon.
