that's good. no i'm not laughing i just like to smile. 
good question. it's because they will lack too much space (width and height)
if i were to put all their contents on the ribbon bar.
or should i say a ribbon bar with too much height doesn't look good,
so i put them up as "panels", which you can easily access
without having to open up new windows for settings and other things.
panels are resizable and content friendly, it also hides as icon
after switching to tabs to maintain the compactness of the app.
