Comparison of toolbar/ribbon in the context of shapes resp. drawing objects

I agree with the OP: we do not show the interactions that users needed. It
offers a lot of functions to manipulate (complex) objects with at best second
rank focus actions (for example "Toggle Point Edit Mode").

In order to improve things we need a widget for Drawing Styles (see Navigator >
Styles / alt+2). And it still wont be acceptable as we collect styles for
different types of drawing objects under this category - and the Default
Drawing Style, for example, is best for text boxes but not for shapes where
Graphic > Shapes are better suited. In contrast to other applications we want
to keep the flexibility where users can add or edit styles in any fashion.

However, "clicking a textbox allows you to use the ribbon/top-bar to edit
things about the text therewithin (font family, size, weight, etc.)" is neither
available in Powerpoint and IMO a shortcoming of ribbons. You need to switch to
another tab to access font properties. Google Slides works differently and
could rather be compared with the classic toolbar or the alternative
notebookbars (as others have commented before).

So yes to the need for major improvements but a question mark to the particular
request.
