You are saying that any user can live with this, but is this the best approach. If you autohide every part of the user interface the user would learn where the different buttons are. This would not be as efficient as if he could see them all along. Although the user will learn where the buttons are the user cannot see them. If the user rushes in there is a chance that he will accidentally close or restore the window when he wants to minimize. So he has to pause and look at the buttons because he couldn't see them before he minimizes or he might accidentally exit his program. this change does not add anything. As for the global menus i found they were easier to use if i made them visible beforehand.
