> Ribbon is dynamic to your current task, using a table? Table tab is available.

So were toolbars in Microsoft Office were similarly dynamic.

Toolbars were not keyboard accessible, and usually unlabeled. The ribbon is a huge improvement.

Toolbars came with explanations that popped up if you hovered.

They also were primarily shortcuts as everything could be reached using the menus anyway.

They also swosh around.

They also aren't predictable.

There's no reason toolbars couldn't also be dynamic.

Ribbon is just that.

Do you have examples of other apps with dynamic toolbars that work better?
