I've been known to rant in an unhinged manner about the ribbon and unity.
Thing is, I don't wish either of them off my computers.
I just wish they were an option rather than something that is hard to avoid.
I've been dismissed as a curmudgeon but honestly I'm just trying to get shit done, and it's a pain in the ass investing the time in learning new UI habits just because someone else thinks a new way of doing things is so cool that it should be default, if not outright unavoidable.

Star Wars Fans Look For Love In Alderaan Places 88
Hugh Pickens writes "The Christian Science Monitor reports that devoted fans at the recent Star Wars Convention V, many dressed as Jedi knights, stormtroopers, or the indomitable Princess Leia, sat opposite one another for a series of 3-minute speed dates, in hopes of finding a connection with a fellow Star Wars enthusiast. 'Over the course of the three events, due to size and time, we turned away about 600 participants,' says Ryan Glitch. 'Yesterday, this room was packed. We had to keep shoveling people along.' Meanwhile in the main exhibition hall, a chapel was set up to allow fans to profess their love and devotion to each other in the form of commitment ceremonies. 'I've been told that we've had two commitment ceremonies from people that met at my event,' says Glitch adding that he saw eight additional couples at the convention made up of people who had attended his speed dating sessions."
