I personally prefer Windows style menu bars where the menu is at the top of each window, instead of at the top of the screen. I don't want to constantly be dragging my mouse all the way to the top and then back to my window.

I could tolerate that.
The spastic chaos of keyboard shortcuts across various OS and application functions I cannot forgive however.
I've been using Linux (KDE Plasma) now as my primary system for 5 years now, and it's practically impossible to build up a system-wide muscle memory. On Linux and Windows menus are all over the place. Things in the menus are all over the place. Shortcuts to them are all over the place. It's crazy making.
However, I've resisted going back to a Mac because it's getting perpetually worse year after year too. The "golden era" to me that I wish had been refined and iterated incrementally on is probably somewhere around Mac OS 10.6
