I've been using macOS professionally for years, but I still find the application/window management system really strange and clumsy. Quite often, closing the last window of an application doesn't entirely quit the application itself. This is particularly annoying when using chrome or firefox, since I'd expect the last tabs I had open to be there when I next open the application, but if I haven't entirely quit the application it just launches a blank new window. I've gotten used to right clicking the icon in the dock and quitting it that way, but it's cumbersome and inconsistent with how it works on other OSes. You also can't quit Finder entirely this way either for some reason.
I'm sure there's some technical explanation that makes sense, but it feels wrong.
