The concept of a desktop craigslist browser is a perfectly reasonable one, but just look at this:

Things wrong with this picture (and the others at the developer’s site):

  • There is an ad in the Ribbon
  • If you only have one tab (or in this case, zero tabs), you don’t need a Ribbon.
  • Will I ever need to select locations from the entire tree of possibilities? Of course not. Why is the thing there?
  • The Wunderbar is for moving between equivalent content areas; is “About Us” as important as “Notifications”? Of course not.
  • There is an ad in the Ribbon

This makes me want to cry, and curse MSFT for licensing RibbonX.
