You also may not realize that one of the very useful things about GNUstep
menus is that the submenus are detachable, which many, many, many people
find quite useful.
How about making the whole menu bar detachable? Stick it to the screen's top
for beginners and let power users drag it around.

I'm not against having the option, but I must stress that when looking at the mockup the floating menu doesn't subtract nothing, but instead adds grace, function and charisma.
The big advantage, supported by research results, of a menu attached to a screen edge is, you have to adjust your mouse movement in one direction only, in the other direction the screen border is your guide. Horizontal menus on the top border reduce the required accuracy of mouse movement even further, because the size of the menu normal to the required movement is typically bigger.
This is always an advantage but competes with the need of a possibly very long mouse movement on large screens.
