I'd argue it's the other way around. For a stripped down consumer tool, the UI chrome surrounding the workspace is precious and should be used only for essential things. Pages gets it right: styles, font face, font size, B/I/U, alignment, line height and column. You know, the things you use the most when you're word processing.
The ribbon just throws everything and the kitchen sink into the same area. How the hell is a novice supposed to navigate that monstrosity?
