I took a look at the bug report and here are my thoughts.

It is never a good way to approach people who are passionate about 
something by saying whatever they do is "dull".

I'll put it bluntly: "toolbars are outdated, let's copy MS Office's 
ribbon" doesn't cut it. If we are going to use something which looks 
like ribbon, this will be for usability reasons.

To improve usability on now common widescreen screens using vertical 
space instead of horizontal would be a good idea. Kind of "Ribbon on the 
sidebar" is what Dreamweaver, next version of Apache OpenOffice and many 
other programs already do use. So does LibO Impress.

As for the icons, take a look at this whiteboard which is in the 
polishing phase right now and chime in:
