well, one of the reasons we are experimenting with wingpanel currently is that global menu has two fairly large problems.
1. it enforces having a menu bar, elementary apps are designed without menu bars, and instead use the "app menu", when we use global menu, it looks really funny if the app doesn't provide a menu-bar.
2. global menu has a very large usability problem on multi-monitor setups. Sometimes my mouse has to travel a surprising and frustrating distance from the app to reach it's menu.
