Even if you were the 99% user, the ribbon solved the problem with toolbars. Word had like 20 different toolbars. If you wanted to work with tables, you had to open the Table toolbar. If you wanted to work with WordArt, you opened the WordArt toolbar. You could be the 99% user and still end up with 10 toolbars open even if you only needed one button on a certain toolbar. On a small monitor, half your screen consisted of your document and the other half toolbars. I can’t remember if you could customize toolbars but not a lot of people would spend the time to do that. I sure never did.
