I use OSX fairly often now since it is my work laptop these days.  I have
always disliked the global menu as it's really kind of jarring to go up to
the menu.  I can understand why it is done (a fixed location for all apps)
but I find it difficult.  It is likely because I switch from Linux to OSX
often and spend most of my time in Linux.  The end result is that I started
using the keyboard shortcuts instead of the menu.  I hardly touch the apple
menu or file menu or anything else.  I don't know if that is good or bad,
but I dont't consider myself a typical user so I don't know if others are
doing it.

My issue would be that too much change might cause GNOME users to get
frustrated.  Global menus is a fairly big user change, and it should require
a LOT of user testing before considering whether it is the best.
