Check out this ZDNet's reporters' rant on IE 9.

This is the overflowing kitchen drawer of user interfaces

And it's even more horrible when you don't have anything selected.

Whoops, looks like another browser could do the job better!

The first view is the simple, elegant IE9 interface; the second is what   it turns into when you add the ugly Command Bar. The third is my cheap   and nasty mockup of IE9 with a Quick Access Toolbar

My opinion: 1st pic is Excellent; 2nd pic is Not so excellent; 3rd pic is Also not so excellent!

Now that you have seen the previews, it's time to check it out. Credit (Photos, exact words) goes to that same article I listed above.

So they simplified the interface by moving everything into the context menu?  BRILLIANT! >.<
