Global menus are great, I dont understand why anyone wouldnt want them.

Because menus should be attached to the thing they're associated with. I prefer window-local menus to global menus, and I like appropriately-designed context menus even better.

…so naturally, when a window is maximised to the dimensions of the screen, the menus should be attached to the screen?
