No tear away pallets...but its better than the Ribbon for sure. Downloadable form Codematic.net http://tinypic.com/r/o53sja/4

I regularly use it to add commands which I'm unable to quickly find in the Quick Ribbon to the QAT.

Btw, the path is same in Windows 7. @Jeff... Select your memory and press ALT+HEA I am sure it is meant for storing much more valuable things (like my blog url and may be few sepllings :P ) @Jon, despite various user comments on this blog and several other excel websites (and forums) on web, MS somehow has been very keen on the ribbon UI. So much so that they are recommending it to commercial app developers using .NET framework (and WPF). I guess there is no turning back ?!? May be they will make the QAT (or something else) much more robust so that power users can feel at home. @Andrew, that is a beautiful tip, I didnt know the QAT was portable.

I made toolbars that I wanted to be visible all the time. I can still use them by clicking the Add-Ins tab, the problem is I select other tabs too so it's more clicking back and forth and that can be tedious. Now I use a modeless userform instead but it does not look the same. Toolbars were better. There, I've said it :-) Jon, I agree with what you say on choice.
