Though uunder other circumstances screen real estate provides a very good
argument for using a menu bar. If I want to expand a window to use
as much of the screen as possible I get a lotmore out of a top bar as
it just reduces theamout of usable space by the wwidth of the bar along the
top edge. With the NeXT style menus the maximum space is reduced by the
vertical and horizontal size of the menu in the respective directions.

If you are doing anything which wants to have the larges unobstrcuted
rectangular space posssible to display in the menu bars are an obvious win.
