Take most computer people. If you can leave the interface the same but make the program faster and/or more efficient, that would be perfect for us.
The ribbon takes up way too much screen space, especially on a notebook. MSFT's choices on what controls belong in what groups are not always logical. It isn't as clear how to do keystroke commands. I've had to laboriously pin selected controls to the quick start bar (I think that's what you call it). Now Windows is giving me messages that the quick start file is getting too big and is slowing down Office. It does take forever for my Excel to open now. The whole interface change sucks and why should I deal with lower productivity for months until I get everything sorted out?
