Hi Petyo,

Thanks for this suggestion!

We discussed this item internally with our engineering and PM leads, and came to the conclusion that a Ribbon UI widget is tailored for desktop usage primarily. You'll probably agree it is much more usable and meaningful in a desktop Windows context (for Microsoft users in particular) rather than web context. Furthermore, Ribbon type of UI is known to a specific group of people, i.e. Microsoft Windows desktop and Excel users. Also it could hardly (if at all) has responsive UI, which is instrumental when web apps are viewed on different screen sizes.

Weighting the pros and cons, we decided that this component belongs to the desktop app world, and for now we won't work on such a widget for Kendo UI. We might reconsider this decision at some point in the future if there are technology changes or additional evidence which invalidates our statement.

Current workaround might be to simulate ribbon-like UI with our toolbar widget (https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/toolbar/), if applicable.
