Yep. The thinking is that it's quicker and easier to hit the Windows
key then type a few characters and hit enter than to navigate menus.
Opinions differ but I definitely find it faster and easier.

I don't think there's a way to get the menus back as there is in, say,
Gnome 3. Well, the Gnome 3 way is to install an extension for it, but
I've not seen one of those for Unity.
