Well, there are times when you don't want POV-Ray to "Quit" immediately, i.e.
only proper termination will allow compressed Pict images or QT movie files to
work.  Sure, you can still "break" it in Mac OS X by sending a Quit apple
event from an external application at this time, but doing so is much harder
than just hitting the "wrong" Quit menu item...

I am still counting on the user interface of Mac OS X to be fixed in the
future once it is noticed how the user base and satisfaction starts to
decline...

They really don't, but at least they work :-)
