Yes, this is a very good counter argument to the premise that exposing the prefs is more usable/accessible -- I've long argued for memory (state retention) in applications, but if that's not the ruling convention, you're initially left wondering if you'll have to set the features each time... but again, it only takes opening your 2nd file to realise that's not the case.

The trouble is -- what if you only wanted to change the font for the current document? Perhaps I'd like to see the document I'm working on right now in a bigger font, or I'd like to treat tabs differently temporarily. Under the current system, it ain't temporary.
