Spread improvements, HighDPI support, new decorations, and the usual bug-fixes are also making it into the new LTS release. Is Unity starting to grow up?"

    If you look at the video in the article, it shows you that you absolutely DO have the choice. There's a switch that lets you choose between Local and Global menus. What's not to love?

    I've hated Unity in the past but this at least shows they are listening, and by giving you the choice, they've not pulled out the rug from under you at all.

    Does it still have the madly-annoying disappearing-and-reappearing scrollbars in the latest version? If not, then I might consider going back to it... that to me, even more than global menus, was what I hated most, the inability to do page-up/page-downs by clicking elsewhere on the scrollbar, because it kept vanishing.
