Were this excel I might agree.
Word still fills me with creeping rage even as it did when I was a child.
@futurebird @nikitonsky as far as Microsoft Office goes I think I'd say 2010 was peak. 2007 did a much needed overhaul to better expose functionality and make the UI more accessible; 2010 fixed up the rough edges.
Yeah, people complained a lot about the changes, but if you observed people using 2003 vs 2007 it was very obvious that they were using 2007 much better, e.g. making use of heading styles instead of overriding font size/boldness/etc for each heading manually

I'd also like to speak in the defence of Ribbon UI — it's much more intuitive. And I was born and became computer-conscious before MS Office became mandatory on every computer, I had never learned how to use it — instead of clicking those icons, I was spending minutes on navigating through the menus — Ribbon UI made this much more intuitive.
It's like with GIMP — I'm not sure what's it like nowadays…

…but those who had muscle memory using Photoshop used to hate it — not me, to me Photoshop always seemed counter-intuitive, nor I ever attained muscle memory using it. From the perspective of the one who uses this software once a week — GIMP's UI seemed much more… obvious: the menu structure, the toolbar buttons — clearly different from Photoshop, but much easier to navigate nonetheless 🤷
