I've come to the realisation that to "use the ribbon" you're just meant to search for stuff. Typing "insert symbol" in the Word ribbon is much faster than trying to find the button. And ok sure, I admit that's a valid paradigm. When there are a lot of options, you need to support a search function. Witness the Start Menu, or the options dialog in IDEA. Option search is vital once you reach a critical mass of options.
