If the Ribbon Interaction has not improved... for example: context sensitivity and setting the focus on the Ribbon that is needed for the object selected, or presenting a Group that is pertinent for the object selected... And if the Nav Pain remains disconnected from the Ribbon and a pain to manage ... then to me it is still lacking is user approachability. Plus, if an on board visual designer of custom Ribbons is not present, then, again it creates a sense of needing to "catch up" to previous versions.
Thats all for now! ...
