  It's workable, but is it clearer/cleaner? I'd probably have to use it for a while to tell. The problem with this kind of dialog is that we don't use it that often - anything that does require you to "go deep into the settings dialog" probably justifies having an action that can be accessed much more directly.

  And "Open new folders in tabs" (which could just be "open tabs instead of windows", btw) is an interface thing. This is because a programme interface dictates how it interacts with the user, so part of its behaviour. One might be able to use this distinction a bit better by putting in "Interface" only the things that are about behaviours of the user and that are not clearly about something that is a reaction to user input (= a programme behaviour).
  That would allow to put the whole "Interface" tab under "Behaviour".
  
  Or, put "Behaviour" under "Interface" because the "View Area" section also has (mostly) behaviour/interface options...
  
  Maybe "Interaction" would be more appropriate or at least speak more to users who are not developers?
