It's been mentioned a few times that clicking Atom > Preferences goes to "settings" which is a little weird.

Yeah, this mirrors chrome, Chrome > Preferences... goes to chrome://settings

I guess I was thinking the the Preferences... menu was a Mac OS X standard and we should keep that, but if people are confused by it, then making the menu Atom > Settings... is an easy tweak.

Yeah, I guess I don't feel strongly either way. Maybe we should just ignore it for now. It's a pretty minor detail.

I say we ignore this for now. Preferences OS X default language, so I don't think we should change the menu item. But I also think Settings is a better word than preferences for what the package does, so I wouldn't want to change the package name.

P.S. It bugs me more that the package is called SettingsView instead of Settings.

Also, minor nit, bugs me that it's atom.config not atom.settings
