Two things:
After using the menu you can just continue to do in the window what you were doing there - there is no need to go "back". For example, in a text editor, your text cursor will still be where it was before you went to the menu. In a browser you can continue to click on links. Or you can close the window. In fact, in Windows your main concern will be to move the mouse cursor AWAY from what you are doing in the window, because you can't see all you're typing if there is a stupid mouse pointer blocking your view.
Second: in Mac OS, to bring a window back into focus you can click anywhere in the window - WITHOUT affecting the cursor position or selection within the window. In Windows, you have to be very carefull to click on the title bar or border areas to achieve the same goal. Again, the target you want to reach is much larger on Mac OS than on Windows.
Then again, having to travel to a different screen to reach a menu is not fun...
