Many apps these days have tabs at top like chrome or firefox and having a top panel (with or without menu bar) means you loose the useful of the fitts law for accessing the tabs of such apps.

That's ok because in a lot of cases they also have a little border at the top that's not clickable. Nobody is thinking of Fitts law anymore.
I can click that top border part and chrome still select the tab (tested on Windows and KDE)
It works on chrome but not all programs with the same look.
