Here's one:

Having all major menus in the menu at the top of the screen gives the user
an "infinitely tall" target to hit that stays in the same place.  Rather
than having to hunt down where the "File" menu, say, is on this particular
window, your muscle memory comes into play.  You don't really have to think
much to know where to send the mouse.  And this makes for a higher
productivity in general while using the operating system.
