A preferences window is unavoidable in the long term, I'm not religious about it, and I wouldn't add arbitrary options to the menus!
Thats good enough for me, for a moment there I was under the impression that it was some crusade, so good to hear it's not :)
And "keep on adding more and more", I really do not think TextMate stands out with huge unstructured menus. I'm currently in Mail.app, I see it has 17 items in its View menu, 5 of them are submenus.
But I would love to receive constructive criticism on the subject e.g. in the form of mockups.
I've only made one change to to nib file, and that's moving the "Show Fonts" to "Show status bar" down to the bottom (see attached screenshot), like I said, I pretty much haven't changed them since I started using TM so I just wanted them a bit more out of the way. Works for me, I'm happy.
