Not to be considered as an objection, but if Script Editor menus would 
be moved, it would be many moons  before I retrain my fingers to move 
mouse pointer to the new place. Motor memory, you know :)

Also, if you move Script Editor menus to menubar, I hope at least 
command + F  would look for TopStack to distinguish what to do because 
currently command + F displays very different find dialogs in Script 
Editor and in general IDE

When I need to find some variable in script, command + C -> command + F 
--> command + V -> enter key sequence is more than motor skill, it's 
almost unconditional reflex and I would feel "disabled" without it.

Same goes with command+ G (find again in script editor) as opposed to 
command + G (group) in general IDE
