Some of us consider our current history and cached files loseable "work".
At least make it a preference option.  Take a look at Stuart.app.
I doubt many people would consider it a non-NS UI, and it provides
the ability to prompt for a quit.  It *does* take work to set up a window
and a history.   Losing it because you pressed the wrong command combination
or hit "quit" instead of "hide" is strongly annoying.

And never forget that UI guidelines are just that.  Guidelines.
Guidelines don't sell products.  Useability does.  *grin*
