There has been a lot of opinions within the Ubuntu community about Unity..just wondering what coot-ers are using with the new Ubuntu(s). 

... If this is a reliable indication of where Ubuntu is going in the future, I need to find a new favorite distribution.  

that seems to be a common sentiment:

Dear David and everybody,

With respect to the ubuntu UI, I personally am happily using it.
As far as I understand, the "old" gnome UI was abandoned for version 3.0 and canonical (company behind ubuntu) decided to go somewhere else ( thats the short description).

anyways:
You should be able to disable the global application menu as shown here:
