I think that merging the application menu with titlebar and "panel" works great for maximized windows. It saves space and removes clutter.
But for me at least, global menu is highly detrimental when working with non-maximized windows. The worst thing is not even the long travel of the mouse pointer, but the need to move the eyes to a completely different part of the screen. It costs me loss of focus. When the menu is inside the window, the contents stays within peripheral view while I operate the menu, and I believe that it helps to return attention to the object much faster.
Please consider returning the app menu inside the windows when they are not maximized, or at least have such behavior as an option.
