Comment(by humdinger):

 I'm not the biggest Terminal user, so YMMV and the Terminal should be
 tuned to the majority of its users.

 That said, for me it'd make sense to have the settings that aren't changed
 often in the preference panel. Which are, for me, all but the window size.
 Font type, size and colours and encoding is something I set once and after
 that use it. Or I "Save to file..." to get a separate profile, containing
 all those settings, I can double-click to start such a set up Terminal.

 It's really just the window size I change according to the screen
 population with other windows. This setting is saved with the currently
 used profile (default: ~/config/settings/Terminal_settings)

 The "Window Size" can be removed completely, as resizing shows the number
 of cols x rows.
