That's a windoze nonsense. System Preferences does it right: if I want
to QUIT the app, well, I quit it. If I want just to close its window, I
just close its window -- whilst the app still stays in Dock, easy to
access. The other behaviour limits the flexibility.

(Hide is not the same, and of course, so far as you have a preference
for that, it's quite all right: pref for the behaviour is the best way.
Though, second best is *not* quit automatically, and to do that
unconditionally is the worst alternative.)
