depends how you look at it, for the rest of us it moves to the left the 
more items you add - so it's not fixed at all.

TYPO3 sure is not OS X, but there's a reason for copying this time: 
Users are used to it. There was even some research about where users 
expect which elements of a site which concluded on the same. (logo/home 
link at the top left, menu on the left, search on the top right, and so on)

No, of course not because we can, but because then nobody will notice 
that there was a bug (accept you of course ;)

I agree with many of your points, still no reason to leave
