Now lets see how many developers/designers will follow those guidelinesĮven a dumb little interface like paint is less intuitive with the ribbon Įspecially a dumb little interface is less intuitive with the ribbon! The resource for the Apple touchbar is remarkably similar to that of the Ribbon: … It does feel like Microsoft made the ribbon to solve their too-many-toolbars-in-Office problem and then went overboard trying to get others on board to use it too.

I do like the Ribbon in Windows Explorer, but it doesn’t make much sense in simple programs like WordPad or Paint. I personally prefer the new “tell me” search option for lesser used functions though. It also explains why the ribbon was basically the only option for a program with as many options as the Office Tools: …. It specifically mentions “Improved keyboard accessibility” and although I mostly use Keyboard Shortcuts instead of “KeyTips” I have no problem using the Ribbon with the keyboard.
This is a great resource about the Ribbon: (v=…).aspx. It has seemed clear for a while that the CEO doesn’t really understand the Mac, or simply doesn’t like it that much, and that’s a problem for those of us who do.

I really think this line is the core reason why the Mac is being neglected: The problem is that the MacBook Pro is not a true Pro notebook. I’m not crazy about Touch Bar, but it does seem potentially useful.
There’s nothing particularly wrong with what Apple announced. Developers are a captive audience, and creative professionals can switch to Windows, I guess. It seems like Apple has either lost its way, that it has lost touch with what (some of) its customers want, or that it simply doesn’t care about those customers. I was really disappointed with today’s Apple event. Since I’m sure some of you are already angrily typing comments about my claim that the new MacBook Pros aren’t designed for professionals at all – on purpose! – but for affluent regular consumers, here’s Mac developer Michael Tsai’s summary of the community’s responses to the new MacBook Pros.
