Office has a similar search bar (though it should move to the center of the screen instead of being in the corner), and it's great, but the huge benefit of ribbons is progressive key chords with visual feedback that, when memorized, provide much faster, and guaranteed access to a given function (search bar can have multiple matches, so you can't be certain that typing a word and hitting enter will result in something) (mac's search menu bar is worse as it's not typo-resistant, doesn't allow arrow up/down right away when the text box is focused, and includes various "Help" junk instead of showing nothing if you can't find anything)
