		kemotep on Jan 9, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Golden Rules of Interface Design (2013) We are about a year or 2 from the Ribbon interface existing in Office longer than the pre-Ribbon interface. I will agree that the Ribbon and what you can customize or use in it/looks has changed drastically since 2007. But the Ribbon “paradigm” will soon have existed longer than the non-Ribbon “stable and efficient” interface so it is more “stable” in one way.

Stabilizing on shit is a sad thing to double down on. But Microsoft is doing that at every opportunity now. Witness their offensive, relentless hounding to log in, log in, LOG IN WITH YOUR "MICROSOFT ACCOUNT!!!!!!"... or you can't do anything, including install Windows.
