Should the preferences window be excluded from the "Window" menu?
I noticed that in some apps, the preferences window doesn't show up in the Window menu. But there's of course no consistency on this.

Based on my findings, I'm leaning towards keeping it in the Window menu. But I'm looking for more opinions.
