CD, thanks for the kind words.
I don't have a team, but I am going to reserve time weekly to work on Emacs.

From your problem description, it seems that showing the "Menu Bar" in a
different side of the screen (top, bottom, left, or right) would not help
you in the general case.
For example, if you have 2 or 3 windows stacked vertically and your cursor
is on the top most one, then having the "Menu bar" at the bottom is of
little help.
I believe the suggestions from Pankaj and Stefan to use either <f10> or
C-mouse-3 are good solutions to your problem.
Would a text-only version of the "Menu Bar" be of interest? That way we can
have a keychord to open a buffer with the menu items and navigate as in
*Help*/*info* buffers.
The benefit of a text-only "Menu Bar" is that we don't need to rely on GTK
or any other graphical window API.
