Conversely, I find it annoying to have to chase down menubars that follow their parent windows around on large, high resolution screens. The principles of a global menubar (being able to throw your cursor to hit it) still work on large screens... I just crank up cursor speed so hitting it takes roughly the same amount of physical movement as it did to do the same two or three decades ago.

See also Fitts's law: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts%27s_law https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts%27s_law I like the ability to slam the cursor to the top of the screen either for purposes of using a menu or finding a "null" place where I can click to abort drags, or just locate the damn cursor. I'm also a caveman in thinking that multiple overlapping windows are ideal for programming and I hate the way Xcode has adopted the MDI style. I always end up using the "open quickly" dialog and typing the name of the document I want rather than any combination of hunting it down in a menu.
