There are also things like: GNOME: preferences goes in "Edit" Windows & OOo: preferences/options goes in "Tools" KDE: have a Settings menu and 4 or more places inside it to change settings OSX: preferences are in the app's name's menu It also seems to me that GNOME favors drop-down menus for settings where only one is possible while KDE goes for lots of radio buttons and tabs (ex: KMail). Personally, KDE's settings menus scare me at first look. I can't take in the amount of information displayed on one "page" in KDE settings without feeling overwhelmed, so I wouldn't mind seeing that change. > Also saying that that most people doesn't care about HIG and It > only matters for developers and fan boys isn't fair.
