40 years later and MacOS app menus are barely changed:

Apple - (Current App Name) - File - Edit - View - [App-specific items] - Window - Help

For Finder, there's still only one app-specific menu item, now called 'Go' instead of 'Special'.

I'm also amused to see that 40 years later that they have "Copy Macintosh HD" on the Edit menu - like it's a floppy disk you can just copy to drive B :)
Well, one could say that having 8 instead of 5 menus is a 60% increase. Also, the number of items in each menu has increased as well.
