Not P but just ab example: Sublime Text won't even show menus in unity without some extension hackery. Who thought this titlebar would be a good idea? People with an 11 inch laptop? Is that the target audience now?

I really like using Ubuntu but I don't like Unity. My solution? Run Awesome WM instead :)

Same here, except KDE 5, nicely wrapped up in the Neon distro by the KDE people.

Wow that's really cool. I didn't know about this project before. Thanks for the headsup!

For better and worse, it apes the OSX interface, which includes menus in the title bar of the entire window.

[m_mueller]

sorry, that's simply wrong. OSX has menus fixed in the menu bar, not in the window titles, these are separate. And so far I find menus at the top still offer the best UX - no need to target the pointer vertically, the menu always anchored where you find it, a root representation of running apps other than their windows. Unity does almost everything the other way round - hidden menus, revealed wherever the top of your window is if you happen to figure out the right key combo or gesture. Discoverability? Who needs that, people can't operate something more complex than an iPhone app anyways...

This is for worse IMO. iIf I want a Mac I can buy a Mac.

They aren't that expensive as a pro tool when you factor in a typical lifetime of 3+ years.

The global menu bar is trivial to turn off (without any hackery) in the current ubuntu.
