The Global Menu Is Dead


And the LIM did it.
That is, the Local Integrated Menu... And, that is of course, on Ubuntu's Unity.

Anyway, I hated Unity's implementation of the Global Menu (with the vanishing menu entries) and I now hate this LIM thing, which is basically a menu on every window -on un-maxified windows- but the menu item appear on the window title bar itself, and only when you do a mouse over on the given un-maxified window, once the mouse leaves, the item disappears, leaving you with a plain vanilla title bar once again.

Reading the users comments on every Linux/ Ubuntu site out there, it seems that the idea is pretty well received... But that is nothing unusual, ever since Unity raised its here, the popularity of Global Menu sunk.
Call me old fashion, but I miss a lot all that GNOME2, circa January 2010 had to offer...
