Why no 'Ribbon' in Publisher?

Not the usual reply one usually expects from MVP!

Unfortunately we are not always in the list of people to be told why
Microsoft does or doesn't do something.

*shrugs*

There was no Ribbon because the product team decided not to implement it
with this release. That's tantamount to saying that there's no ribbon
because there's no ribbon, or just "because".

We did, however, get PDF - IMO this is of more benefit to Publisher (and
Office) users than having the Ribbon in Publisher would be.

I was also said that this is because of no time for Ribbon in this Publisher
release.
However, although I love Ribbon alot, I still don't think it will be a good
thing for Publisher, as I've mentioned in my comment

"Firstly when I saw the Publisher doesn't have Ribbon I was quite sad, but
during the work I do in it almost every day I've realized that it would slow
me down a lot in this application.
I definitely love Ribbon and I think it absolutely rocks :] however the same
way I think that tasks which are being done in Publisher much more need all
icons to be prepared to use than contextual changes of the UI. Simply
because there are just a lot of them which are applicable all the time,
irrespective of the context."

Publisher hasn't nearly the functions other Office products are saddled with. I
cannot see any benefit of having the ribbon. Most of the Publisher menus are
floaters, something that is sorely missing in Word.

I just hope the UI team will share our opinion about ribbon and that it
won't prevent them to include other 2007 features, like SmartArt and so on.

OfficeArt and the Ribbon seem to be pretty hand-in-hand, though.

That's true, do you think it couldn't be separated? It would be quite pretty
to have all these shadows and glows in Publisher instead of WordArt, as well
as SmartArt or math/equations. I believe that live preview is not possible,
though.
And I would welcome the XML file format as well, which could be probably
achieved without Ribbon.

I think that if I should choose between these features and not having the
Ribbon, I would probably choose not having the Ribbon.

If they decide for it, however, nothing is lost, I would than be able to
create my TaskPane with all the icons needed. :-)
