What do you mean with "only" a NSPanel? Is it "less valuable" to you?

In fact NSPanel is a NSWindow subclass. So you have *more* options and
display styles to define.

But some defaults are set differently (e.g. some window stacking,
handling of automatically becoming the keyWindow, being tracked in the
Windows menu etc.). So I would recommend to use NSWindow for all
documents (because they appear in the Windows menu) and NSPanel for
all popups with an more or less explicit Close button or for inspector
type panels...
