Ribbon has to be the absolute worst interface I've ever dealt with. Things seem to be organized completely randomly, things I never use are emphasized, things I always use are de-emphasized, things are hidden behind various panels and determining which involves a tedious search through every single panel, ultimately giving up and having to google where the hell the button I'm looking for is--and seeing thousands of results from people searching the same exact thing. That's not even getting into the fact that it consumes a ridiculous, and I mean simply ridiculous amount of space. I feel like every recent step "forward" in UI is just an attempt to make useful features harder to find, make useless buttons bigger while simultaneously making them harder to identify as buttons, and reducing the actual active input space to the bare minimum. MS Office and gmail started a race to minimize input space a couple years back and now it seems to be spreading everywhere. What used to be nice, full screens of input and being able to visually scan everything is now a tiny white box with absolutely useless garbage everywhere, from ribbons full of buttons I'll use maybe once a year to now auto-suggested text that never aligns with what I want to say and could potentially have disastrous results when I inevitably accidentally click it.
