One reason  "use global menu only for maximized windows"   is a bad idea
because you shouldn't be trying to encourage people to be maximising
windows.  The reason we have larger screens is so we can fit more than
one window on the screen at any one time,  I usually have several.
Microsoft Windows users are the main culprits of the "maximize
everything" culture and this is not something anyone should be aiming
for.

What OSX does with it's permanent menus actually works well and I've
never heard any complaints about it.  Everyone who has been forced to
use Unity at the company I work for has complained about this particular
aspect of it.  The solution is easy, just enable always visible Global
Menus, or at-least allow us the option to enable then.
