My point is that even if Ribbon was a good idea the implementation had a number of flaws that made me question of UX really was the reason and not something else. My go-to example is how the File menu was hidden behind a non-button that looked just like a fancy application logo. Why would an actual, caring ux developer do that in a flagship product?
