It makes sense. Alt-I is taken by the Office 2003 style menu shortcut
that is still available in 2007. If you remember the keyboard keys for
getting this in 2003, then you can still use those. So with Alt-I taken,
they picked N.

You are a power user, not the vast majority of all users. While you
might be able to find something hidden in a submenu, a majority of users
probably cannot.
The thing you need to realize is that the ribbon is not designed for
power users who know where everything they need is in 2003. Those users
simply hate the ribbon because it is a big change.
Ask yourself. How much of your resentment is because you don't know your
way around anymore and feel like a beginner again and how much is due to
this being a really big change from what you are used to?
