While some of you wish that Apple stole the the better part of the NeXT system,
I hope that NeXT will be able to steal the better part of the Apple GUI.

I, for one, would love to have the option of putting the menus from the top
left of the screen to a place where they consume less real estate. And, the
black top-bars on applications don't use real-estate very productively.
Displaying only the application name is a bit wasteful. Yes, I do really wish
that I could put the main menu onto these bars---just as the Mac does. I
realize that not everyone shares my point of view, so it could be optional.
(And despite this disagreement with NeXT, I am very happy overall with the NeXT
GUI.)
