One problem though - once you could afford a second screen, you had to drag the app window across both screens and organise your documents per screen.

This made the whole app vs document windows way clearer: You close the window inside - you close a document you close the outer window - you close the app. I haven't used Windows for years, but when I did, you had the app window, within which you had the document windows - and the latter could not extend beyond the boundaries of the former: With some applications it doesn't make sense: With some applications it makes sense to have the ability to open more than one window, aka document. (For more: Human Interface Guidelines for MacOs). The only question is whether you are closing a document in a multi-document application, or a singular app window and thus the application itself. This has to do with the distinction between:Ĭlose means close.
