Agreed! Though I only use Outlook 2007 I have no problems with the ribbons at all. I find them smooth to navigate and there are keyboard shortcuts for all of them. So instead of navigating the ribbon I just press the corresponding keyboard shortcut. One I use frequently is alt+h s l This brings up the set language dialog for the spell checker. Or alt+h o p For message options.
