As someone who I'd think constitutes as a "pro" I also like the menubar, simply because it's a searchable index of all the functionality an application offers that can't be IKEA'd away by designers bent on functionality-deleting minimalism. In fact one of my biggest frustrations with Windows and Linux is that a global menubar isn't an option and so one has to live with hamburger menus and convoluted paths to certain dialogs whether they like them or not. KDE on Linux is the exception here, but its global menubar is half useless thanks to all of the hamburger menu afflicted Linux apps, as well as apps that don't surface their menu items to dbus.
