He did say that he doesn't like it, is that not a valid reason?
I use OmniFocus extensively on a small screen (Macbook) where the ribbon would be tying up precious screen real estate. The inspector is there when I want it, not when I don't, and does not reduce the number of rows I can see at once (though I agree it may partially obscure some of them).
On a larger screen (or multiple screens) space constraints are less of an issue, but here again i find the inspector to have an edge because I can put it right where I am working to minimize mouse/trackpad movements.
I have very little experience with the prior version of Office for Mac, but if asked to list Microsoft UI innovations i have encountered to date that have made me wish other programs incorporated them, well, let's just say there's plenty of blank space remaining on that page :-)
Got any mock-up skills? Perhaps a sketch of what you envision would be more compelling than a Microsoft PR video...
