alt Hacker NewsFor all comments saying that it is a standard and shouldn't be changed, I think the standard is that the first "menu" is the important one, no matter how it's called, so for this reason it should really be changed.
Imagine if you move the file menu to the middle. Will you still be quickly able to find it "because it's a standard" or instead click the new first menu (and then spend several minutes trying to find where the "New window" option is)?
Why would you add a new first menu? And what about the first one being important motivates changing the name?
There should be a positive case for any change. Some reason the new name is better, more useful, more intuitive. But I haven't seen anyone describe this yet, here or in the blog.
