There has evolved a standard for UI's.

Top pulldown menu with file ... help.

File has open, save, save as, exit and more.

A toolbar with the most common options below pulldown
menu.

Right click expose a context specific menu.

Etc..

If you open an editor or an IDE or a wordprocessor, then
you expect to see that.

And it enables you to use a tool you have never used before.

I would expect practically everyone working with IT to
know this standard.

Know does not imply prefer or like - just that they know it.
