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?"

    The global menu is a pretty nice thing on a screen with middling resolution like 1366x768, typical of most PC laptops. It's easier to aim at a menu item when it's at the top of the screen than if it's attached to a window. I can see though how it would not be optimal if one had multiple monitors or had a screen resolution much higher than 1920x1080: both are true of my office workstation.
