Maybe it's just the frustration of config/settings/preferences being in different locations for every freaking application on windows. It's definitely not consistent...

    File -> Settings
    File -> Preferences
    Edit -> Settings
    Edit -> Options
    Edit -> Preferences
    Tools -> Settings
    Tools -> Options

Anything but consistent. In mac it's `[AppName] -> Preferences` always. And maybe you're right about each window having its' own menu bar.. all the same, I wouldn't call it consistent, as it really isn't.
