I guess some of the reasons I'm not very fond of the vertical menu is:
Having more than one application open at the time clutters the screen,

application is
active all the menus of other applications are hidden, so they never
block each other.
I have to separate them, and I end up having a confusing mess of
menus. They aren't very friendly towards maximized applications either,
as the menu blocks some of the contents of the application.
Then you can drag the menu off screen ad just use the right mouse button
to pop up a menu when you want it.
Maybe the ultimate approach would be to have no static menu at all, but
to only bring up the menu temporarily while pressing down a second
mouse button ( as it works now). Either way it couldn't hurt to have
the Apple approach as an option.
Yes. Once we have a preferences app like NeXT used to have, I imagine
we will have the option to set the default
location for the menu to be off screen.
