Users that want the menubar hidden want it hidden at startup
Well that would make it the only UI element that behaved that way.
All other UI elements save their state and restart Geany in the same state so the user can continue their work where they left off. Having a UI element change state between Geany shutdown and restart would be unique.
It is better for similar functions (in this case setting UI layout, eg show/hide message window or sidebar or "additional widgets" and now menubar) to behave the same way, the users can generalise behaviour rather than having to remember that feature X behaves differently. For goodness sake, they might have to read the fine manual if that was the case.
Fitting user requests into the application consistently is an important consideration for developers, not necessarily taking the first thing someone thought of (and that includes the first thing developers think of too).
