I don't understand your argument about the Preferences. TextMate still has a lot of preferences, such as font, antialiasing, tab width, etc., but instead of keeping them all together in one place where they're easy to find they are spread out and hidden among the other menus. How is that easy and straight forward?
I don't agree that they are spread out and hidden... well, they are spread out but they arein the menus where they logically belong. For example, font setting is in the view menu, stuff that determines how the editor reacts to your input is in the behaviour menu, and stuff relating to syntax is also in the view menu etc. Putting it all in a prefs window is not much better: It takes longer time to change, and many people will check the menus first to see if it is not considered "deep" enough to end up in the prefs, I think.
