The rise and fall of the Global Menu

There is no news that I love GNOME Global Menu, it simply makes sense to me; one of the things, along with drop shadows, that I got stuck from the Os X days.

While searching over and over on Google and Duck Duck Go for info on how to get it (or something very similar) up and running on Cinnamon and/or MATE I found a pattern regarding the adoption of the program.

There seems to be a clear cut that divides everybody's wishes to have something like GNOME Global Menu installed, and then, getting it out of your box no matter what.

The event is no other than Unity; it seems like Ubuntu's Global Menu implementation was a bit hard to swallow for a lot of folks.
