I find the evolution of the menu bar fascinating. It&#x27;s really interesting that the menu bar kind of started as command buttons attached to the windows.<p>It&#x27;s interesting that over the last 30 years the Mac has been evolving back to the old version. Almost all apps now have toolbars that replace the functions of the menu bar. People have stopped using the top menu bar. As a software developer, I regularly get feature requests for functions that already exist, because there is no toolbar button to activate them, and people don&#x27;t look at the menus anymore.<p>The latest beta version of OS X, El Capitan, even has a setting to hide the menu bar.<p>I&#x27;ve always thought that the menu bar at the top of the screen was so fundamental to the Mac experience, but it seems we&#x27;ve gone full circle, back to the original idea of command buttons attached to each window...
