Some here seem to have a conceptual misunderstanding about human
interface design. Technology and design improvements should increasingly

All to save what? 24 pixels of vertical space? Ludicrous.
Actually the global menu per se is not the issue here. Almost every
commenter likes it; just not the way it behaves _exclusively_ (not by
default, since there are barely any options).
14.04 users can now, if desired, disable global menus on a per app
basis in dconf. Should work for most common apps excluding nautilus,
firefox/thunderbird any qt4 apps like vlc, smplayer, ect.
