Fortunately, that's only partially true. While there is no longer any Edit menu, there kinda sorta semi is an Alt-E -- or rather, there are several hot-key combos that start with Alt-stuff which mimic the old menus. I don't have the ribbon in front of me, but there's a good chance that "Alt-E S" might actually still do what you want.
(I attribute this to there being some software developer at Microsoft who loathed the ribbon and, as his great act of rebellion, sneaked in this subtle bit of pseudo-backwards-compatibility as an act of pity and compassion. (Or possibly just to save his own sanity when he's forced to use the ribbon.))
