I guess it's time for me to be a crotchety old man again.

Opera lost me when the followed Chrome in the elimination of the menu bar. If they haven't rectified that, I'll stick with Firefox.

What is a menu bar offering you that makes or breaks a program for you versus several political, philosophical, ideological, practical, and technical other differences?

UI Consistency.

You're not alone. Opera lost me for that reason as well (no menubar plus no -even simulated- MDI), and it's also one of the main reasons why I use Otter and not Vivaldi (Vivaldi does have a menu bar, but with non-native behavior).
