> Also, the app quits when the last window is closed, which isn't how OS X apps are supposed to behave.

If anything, they're ahead of the curve. Most Apple apps are beginning to follow this behavior: App Store, Calculator, Contacts, Dictionary, DVD Player, FaceTime, Font Book, Game Center, Garage Band, Image Capture, iPhoto, and so on.

Notice how most (all?) of those are single window applications.

But it's still a document-based application. Those, in general, stay active even if all the documents are closed.

Not in the new Apple way. I believe the idea is that they'll save their state but close.

Right, but does opening more than one window for a single application count? Two chrome windows for instance.
