No, then I didn't make myself clear. That's what a "ribbon" does when it's chasing a confused user.

When you have a good tool, it has a clear purpose, a well-defined domain of applicability it is optimized for. Software tends to be "multi-tool"-like and that poses problems obviously.

When you let the user choose what his purpose is and adapt the interface accordingly, that's not "different every time you use it", it acts as expected for that present use case.

It's maybe like a workbench, where you have multiple tools available in their appropriate and known positions. Each tool has its place and native interface, optimized for the narrow job it does.

Office is like a workbench that gets rearranged randomly and each tool is weird with unclear purpose and scope.
