    This is probably the stupidest hill to die in I have ever seen. Of all the things to defend MS for you try to justify their destruction of the pull down menu!?

    They broke 30+ years of standard GUI just to keep breaking and changing their stupid ass ribbon bar.

    I don’t really care for Macs but god damn does their universal PDM system work great.

    The amount of times I have had to click through and memorize their dumb as fuck ribbon bar just to have them change it again the next version is ridiculous.

      I started the name calling by saying “tech brained” so I apologize and I’ll ease off on that.

      With that said, I have to strongly disagree with you. I use MS Office, LibreOffice, and Google Docs regularly, and IMO the ribbon was a huge improvement for word processors and spreadsheets over traditional drop-down menus. Drop-Down menus have their place but for document editing they are not ideal.

        You are going to die on that hill. You sir have some serious screws loose and I will never take anything you say seriously again.

          Oh no, some crank who can’t understand that other people have preferences won’t take me seriously. This is a major loss. I am so owned. This definitely isn’t emblematic of the problem with the OSS community.

            You also act like an idiot. Now you are a victim as well. The big bad OSS community!? Do you even listen to the shit that is pouring out of your mouth.
