I get the feeling that the massive extended toolbars really serve
somewhat the same role in a typical MS app that keybindings do in Emacs:
both are somewhat cryptic and take a fair bit of time to remember, but
are probably faster and more convenient than the menus -- once you have
learned them.
Toolbars are for mouse, menus for keyboard (or at least they are faster
with the keyboard).
That may be the case, but I don't think it changes my point: massive
bloated toolbars are still more of an expert interface than a newbie
one.
