Again, by adding a large Project Settings icon to the Project ribbon this should help avoid such issues. A similar phenomenon is the hidden Project Settings command - users don't see the command in the Project menu and then make settings changes using Tools - Options - which only affect the default project template but not the current project. You as power users probably cannot care less - as you just press Ctrl+Enter and that's it for you. They simply did not find the tiny Confirm icon on the toolbar, nor in the Translation menu! By adding this as a big button to the Editor view there's a good chance that such errors will be avoided more easily. For example, I have seen quite a few files where segments had not been confirmed at all and so the users were wondering why the translations were not in the translation memory. One (but by far not the only one) of the main reasons we are adding ribbons is that users often don't find commands easily. Paul will also comment when back from his holidays. Just to chime in from a product management perspective (I'm the product management director for Studio) why we are adding a ribbon and to clarify some of the details.

I won't be affected if SDL uses the ribbon, because I only work with DVX2, and like Selcuk I have never seen a ribbon in it, so I'm not sure what Stefan is referring to.
But the real killer for me is the horrible waste of vertical screen space. I prefer the usability in the old menu bar as in Word 2000/2003, and I always use Word 20 with the Ubit menu utility which simulates the old menu structure. Do the people who designed the Microsoft ribbon ever do any WORK with the dratted thing? Top third? To be fair, on my 22" desktop screen the ribbon in Word 2007 takes up just under a quarter of the height, but I'm sure it is well over a third of the height on my 10" netbook.
In an age of wide-format screens with limited screen height, I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind should want to carve away the top third of the screen for an airy-fairy ribbon instead of a decent menu bar, giving me a ridiculous horizontal sliver of screen space to work in. My main complaint about the ribbon is ergonomical. The only error SDL did here was not to introduce it right from the beginning in Studio 2009. Personally I think it's not an error to introduce the ribbon now, but a long overdue step. But when they have to work in Word 2003 again for a specific project, they are usually surpirised how bad the old toolbar system actually was compared with the ribbon. I know a couple of people who hated the ribbon when it we introduced in MS Office years ago. In fact Microsoft studies based on real world user data prove that new as well as old shool users find what they want faster and more intuitive. It's an excellent way to present complex feature offers in a structured and organized system.

There's a reason why so many software companies have adopted this idea for their UX.

I'm a big fan of the ribbon interface idea and actally it's adopted not only in MS Office but also in many, many other software like AutoCad, AuthorIT, Madcap Flare or Déjà Vu - just to name a few very popular ones, beside the adoption throughout the whole windows system itself.
