I find the AppMenu counter-productive, confusing (why have menus in two different places?) and it breaks the sloppy mouse focus (you can't access the AppMenu since it changes when the mouse goes over another window when you try and access it).
In 3.6, sloppy focus has a short delay, so if you flick the cursor to
the top of the screen, it won't change focus and the menu works just
fine.
The AppMenu seems like a nice idea to remove the menu bar from
applications that only use it for a couple of trivial menu items (like
preferences and quit).
But, it can be confusing when an application actually chooses to split
menu items between the two places (e.g. Devhelp). I think applications
should choose one option or the other, and never use both menus.
I don't think it's confusing if only one is used. If there is no menu
bar on the application, then it is obvious that any additional options
will be on the AppMenu.
