"the semi-random arrangement of cryptic menus and toolbars we had before." Well, yeah, if some program had a semi-random arrangement of cryptic menus, I guess that was bad. As I remember, Word's' arrangement was quite good and non-cryptic. Now we have instead a semi-random arrangement (afaict) of cryptic icons. (There's a reason the alphabet replaced hieroglyphics.)

Guess what menus Word used? All of the buttons on the ribbon have labels, except for very common ones on the Home tab. That's one of the main tenets of the ribbon. As compared to toolbars, which made very little use of labels at all.
