Charles mentioned that "choice is best" ... that is true if people
really know what they want and how to adapt something in their given
situation. Many software products miss that the majority of their users
doesn't fall into that category :-) So to prepare an interaction concept
that it works right from the start for most people, that is the real
hard part.

So allow for three 'modes':

1. Legacy (the current Menus/Toolbars style),

2. Newfangled (ribbon, or whatever it is to be called),

and

3. Custom (allows the user to basically mix/match and customize whatever
they want), with a big fat scary warning with a default of NO/CANCEL,
that will prevent any casual user from enabling it...


How about just adding a "Revert" button?
Or, better yet, how about having the customizations saveable as a file. One
would be able to: 1) revert back to the original at any time; 2) easily have
his/her custom UI on as many computers as he/she'd want to; 3) download a UI
designed specifically for his/her needs.

Best regards,

Charles
