Hi, sorry for taking so long to actually reply to this bug report (it's
been sitting in my inbox for months!). I am reopening because from what
I understand of your last 2 comments, you may have misunderstood.

Actually: yes, "Add..." *, "Remove" and "Preferences" make sense in an
Edit menu! Other apps (Gnumeric, Evolution, Epiphany, etc.) all have the
"Preferences" in the Edit menu, apps such as Specto, Inkscape,

*: note that the "..." at the end of "Add..." is a design standard of
menus, to indicate that clicking this option "requires further
interaction" (meaning that it shows an "additional dialog", such as the
"Add rule" dialog you already have).


More info about File and Edit menus:

But then at the same time, I agree it's not a clear-cut and "easy"
design problem to solve. I mean, the concept of a "File" menu when most
applications don't even deal with actual files, is quite hotly debated
too :)

Bug description:
The main window's actions to add a new rule or remove a rule should be available in the Edit menu, as per HIG. It would also give a better reason for the existence of that menu.
