The irritant there for me is when I have to go back and forth. Going from Access 2003 to 2007 and back because you have a server that's stuck on 2003 sucks and makes both interfaces seem confusing.
Yes, absolutely. It took me a while to get used to the ribbon, but I use it fluently now. My question is why bother? I can't see any advantage to it over the traditional pull-down menus (in fact some tasks take longer, and I have yet to discover any that are shorter) so why make users learn a completely new system for accessing commands and tools? Seems like change for the sake of change, something I expect more from politicians trying to keep their jobs.
