Fail

Office 2007 – the first version of Office with the ribbon interface – has been out for well over six years now, and I still need to Google basic operations that I did effortlessly in pre-ribbon versions of Office.

What a terrible, terrible interface, designed to make work easier for someone who uses Office once a year, but punishes anyone more competent on every damn use.

Office was the first symptom of making things so dumb that they are nearly impossible to use. It’s designed to make extremely easy operations slightly easier, while making nearly anything else almost impossible.
