I even managed to convince the wife to stick with 2007 over 2003 and now she flies around in Word and Excel with it.

It took me awhile to get used to that in Excel 2007, but now that I'm used to it, I find it fairly convenient. I do feel sometimes, however, that it results in having to make an extra click or two to get to a particular function I want. Though that may also be because I really haven't bothered to learn any of the keyboard shortcuts (unlike in Photoshop, where I used to have a good number of those committed to memory).
If you commit keyboard shortcuts to memory, you can navigate a program far faster than you can by using the mouse.

Programmers can get too cute with interfaces.

Excel 2007 had too many good improvements for me to pass up. The unlimited conditional formats, for example, are hugely useful for one particular set of data files I had been working on.
