Same here.  That's why I don't feel qualified to evaluate the ribbon.   ;)

Same here too (when I was at work).  A WordStar-style text editor is the quickest, most efficient way to get bult text down on disk, and edit it afterwards.  See e.g. A Writer's Word Processor, by Robert J. Sawyer.  M$ Word is for tarting up text so it looks fancy, or pompous, or official.

There are other uses also for Word other than 'tarting up text' :) 

IMHO, mrainey got it right...

If you use a text editor for your work and it's enough, then you wouldn't see the use of the ribbon.  For those of us that do other things, it's a better way to get to what we use.
