Google to the rescue...

  Results 1 - 10 of about 8,560 for "Office 2007 ribbon" love.

  Results 1 - 10 of about 187,000 for "Office 2007 ribbon" hate.

That's a 21.84 to 1 advantage.

I made no attempt to look for "don't hate" or for "don't love." Didn't 
check "don't exactly love" either, and neglected to correct for the 
effect of overreporting by whiners. Those are for somebody's PhD 
dissertation.
