I'm open to suggestions for a subtitle here! (Really!)

Ribbon + VS.NET ?

Pardon me if this has already been discussed, but I haven't seen it anywhere. There's been a lot of talk about how Office 12's UI is being revamped with the new Ribbon feature, whose primary purpose is to clean up the menu and toolbar bloat that has happened over the years. And I was wondering today, are we ever going to see this in Visual Studio? Aside from Word, I can't think of a single application that has more features and more menus and toolbars to go along with than Visual Studio.

I know the roadmap says that Visual Studio's UI is due for an overhaul in the Hawaii timeframe...I was just wondering if the Ribbon is a precursor to the new UI for VS.

Thoughts?

Considering the vast differences in workflow between VS users that i've seen, i think this would go over like a lead balloon. But then, i haven't used Office12 yet, so maybe Ribbon is a good deal more flexible than what i'm giving it credit for...
