Why not have a setting for it? All users happy, no compromises done.

I just downloaded unity/Ubuntu 11.04 and was playing with it.
One feature I really like is the application menu is in the top bar.

You mean the global menu? That horrible thing that confusingly
appears/fades out when applications gain or lose focus and is on
average, about 894 pixels from my mouse when working in an application?
I certainly hope not.
When your mental attitude is to access the application's menu on its own
window, then I think the global menu is horrible as you've said. But the
same argument can be applied when defending the usability of GNOME
Shell, now for the global menu that if you train your mind that you have
to access the application's menu at the top bar, then later on you will
be comfortable with it since you are now used to it. The good thing
about the global menu is it is very useful in smaller screens even
smartphones, and that we can compromise larger screens for that matter.
Imagine if you want to use a vanilla GNOME Shell on a tablet and think
about the wasted space it gets just for the application menu.
