Oh NO!
I've always considered the Ribbon a user-interface atrocity just below the Metro interface MS force-fed on users starting with Windows 8. The Ribbon breaks decades of muscle memory and familiarity with the File and Edit menus in particular, and aggressively creates MS-only app conventions that clash with the standard behavior and look-and-feel of all other apps. Just yesterday I saw the consequences of this in an InDesign training class, watching someone floundering helplessly when told to go to File, Open or Edit, Undo.
LibreOffice lacking the Ribbon has always been one of its top reasons for me to recommend it.
