Menus on top waste less screen real state and are easier to hit (just slam the mouse against the border). Perhaps you mean on the sides? But then their read awkwardly.
The double click is a silly anti-pattern, I agree. But in those times you needed to be really sure you wanted to open an app, that was a very expensive operation taking many seconds. With today's SSDs we tend to forget that.
Attributes from the source document vs destination is something that needs to be left for the user to decide (Outlook does this). Sometimes I want to copy and paste an HTML table or excel rows, and I want them to look like the source. Other times I am pasting text and I want it to assume the same format as the existing document. Outlook lets me do both, even after the fact.
