I really, really wish that Slack would learn this. Their constant creep in features means I lose about a cumulative hour every other week trying to do something that I once knew how to do.
Yes, there is. It's actually pretty simple and takes one step:
1) don't.
I can expand on that though with a few more discrete steps:
1) don't screw over people who already spent time (money) learning your product
2) don't screw over people who paid money (and time) for certifications in your product
3) don't assume that everyone will work better with the new flow
The toolbar ribbons tanked discoverability, readability, and usability.
As a dev I'd love a ctrl+p sublime style search.
I sincerely believe IT people of the future will look back unkindly on this trend.
