Right.  When I want to close the last window of *any* application, I
want it closed.  Caput.  Finis.  Done.  It just so happens that for most
apps, the last window to close is the only window to close.

Perhaps, but none of the mainstream apps that I or my wife run.

You're right, I don't see the distinction of a hidden app vs. a
minimized app.  Is the behavior of one different from the other, besides
where they are sitting at the bottom of my window?  If I am right and
there is no difference, then why have a hidden app?

If it was configurable as to whether I would want the "X" to hide the
window or quit that instance of the app, I would choose the latter.
