The global menu bar on macOS literally displays the name of the current focused application. It’s absolutely obvious.

  This adds an extra step of reading what’s focused. It’s also awkward on a multi monitor system.

    Dude, you literally scan left to right on most systems. This is not a point of discussion and it's not remotely difficult.

      On Windows, I don’t stop to think “hmm, which edit menu is this”. And, if I have multiple windows from the same application open (multiple document interface), I know which document the edit menu is for. There is a genuine tradeoff here. Global menu bars are easier targets and waste less space. Per-window menu bars are more clearly bound to their window. Neither approach is better on all counts.
