Per-application Script menus are easier to navigate and use because
they only contain scripts intended for that application, and they're
positioned along with all the other application menus instead of off
to the right (which becomes a bigger problem as displays get larger).
On the basis of my experience, I'd say the first advantage is only
very slight - one less hierarchical level - and more than compensated
by the convenience of having all scripts in all applications
accessible via the same menu in the same place. And I don't think the
second is any advantage at all. I don't use menus much anyway, using
keycode equivalents to frequently used commands when available and
assigning them myself when they aren't; and when I do occasionally
select something from the menu bar, it's just as easy to do so on the
right as from one on the left. It's not as though the cursor is
ordinarily on the left side of the screen and thus closer to the menus
on that side.
