What extra mouse mileage and unneeded shifting of focus?  :-)  They
were thinking "Emacs" of course.  If I need a menu, it either pops up
under the mouse, or my concentration is already long since blown.

YMMV, that's OK.  Just telling you why I personally don't mind the Mac
style menubar, with a little salt, of course.  ;-)

That's because neither of the major desktop environments manages to be
stable enough to distribute binary packages in early releases, and
because migrating the Debian menu stuff can be a bitch.
