But didn’t you say that everyone fullscreens their windows anyways? So docked to the application is exactly the same as docked to top in 90% of the cases.
And even if you have multiple windows on the screen at the same time, it makes much more sense to me to look at the top of the application, since when all menubars are at the top, you first need to check which one is active before you use the menubar.
Ah yeah! I’d forgotten this.
Since you can have the Photoshop toolbars up around the edges of your screen but work on something else in the middle, I don’t know how many times I went to click what I thought was the “Photoshop” menu but was actually “Finder” or whatever other window I was just in. Very annoying.

It is, yes, but it’s far more intuitive (for me at least) to just know that the menu bar will be for the window I have on top than to stop and make sure I’m clicking the right thing.
