The experience seems to be that the new UI is more intuitive for brand-new
users and not too difficult for casual users to get used to. Longtime
power users, the ones who knew where every command was on every menu and
where every button was in every dialog or on every toolbar (and had their
toolbars and menus extensively customized), are the ones who are really
suffering.

We're not just suffering - we're giving up. I have tried, I really have, to
adjust to the new interface, but I've come to loathe it so much I've gone
back to Word 2003. If Microsoft doesn't improve this in their next version,
then when 2003 is not working for me any longer, I will have to seriously
look elsewhere for my word processing needs. I never thought I would ever
give up on any version of Word, but I'm giving up now. (I've been a power
user since Word 3.0, so it's a painful epiphany that Word isn't the right
program for me any more.)
