So I find it a lot easier to navigate when I'm searching for a feature I don't know - which is the only time my mouse generally goes up to that part of the screen. Text was invented for a reason - it communicates quickly, clearly, and efficiently. I use a Mac at work, so luckily I still have the drop down menus, which are usually at least twice as fast as wading through a bunch of non-intuitive icons in a half-dozen ribbon tabs with 20 buttons each. It takes up a bunch of space with buttons I don't need, and on the rare occasions when I need a feature advanced or rare enough that I don't know a shortcut, it's often not even on a ribbon button - I end up going through advanced feature dialogs anyway.
I know dozens of them for MS Office, and whenever there's a feature that I use often, I look up a keyboard shortcut if possible. No modern computer user can honestly say they'd prefer searching through dropdown menus over the ribbon that focuses on putting the most used features at the users fingertips.
