I can see the point of the writer; but at the same time, if I was double-full-screening, as shown in the post's screenshots, I would choose to hide the menu bar too! (For instance, I can double-full-screen terminals, and set the menu bar to auto-hide.)

If I'm not in pure full-screen mode, I actually find it distinctly un-Mac-like to force windows to use up every last pixel of space. That's kind of the point...the Mac's document-centered focus, ability to hide apps, use Exposé, and yes, menu bar, make it far easier to have 12 completely unrelated things open and use them effectively (compared to Windows and the Linux window managers I know about, anyway).

One tidbit people might not notice, is that the OS lets windows "stick" to the top of the screen; this works both under the menu bar and under the top "edge" of your 2nd display. So it's pretty easy to arrange windows anyway.

On Linux there are dynamic window managers available. They automate window placement to maximize use of screen real estate. Many are keyboard driven and seem difficult to use. I usually have 15-30 windows open so I've been looking at them as alternatives to ALT + TAB.
