As of GIMP 2.9, single window mode is the default, so choosing it out of the Windows menu dropdown is no longer necessary. :) It's been a long time since I've used a version of GIMP that wasn't the development version...

In fact, I would recommend we change this behaviour. When the user wants to close a window, it should not have side-effects like opening up a new window. It seems like a bug, as it goes against the convention of all other programs.
I think I saw other programs working like that… But I agree it's not a common and modern working.
Also, if the user opens inkscape, and immediately chooses to open a recent file, or indeed any of the new files options from the file menu (based on template, etc.) it should open it up in the same window. It's useless to keep around a new document window when it is clearly not needed/wanted.
Yes, that would be much better.
Just take a look at how LibreOffice works. It is exactly like Inkscape, except that it can have no open documents (and it catches all instances in a single one).
Note that GIMP can work with several windows. Don't you remember you checked something in the ‘Windows’ menu the first time you launched the software? But even in multi-window mode, it can have no open documents. -- Sylvain
