Love the ribbon too. OO/LO/iWork have become unusable for me since the ribbon. The initial implementation of the ribbon sucked. It was too static, it didn't hide and took up a whole lot of space, and it didn't give you any pointers on KB shortcuts. It also took MS some time of gathering data and telemetry to improve the layout. And frankly, it took users some time to adjust to the change. The ribbon is much better now. But the people who like it, possibly still suffering from having to maybe defend it when it legitimately had flaws, are not as loud about it online.
