I can only speak for me, but the interaction you described is not how
I work with programs. If I want to create a new document I don't close
all other document tabs in the application first expecting that an
empty application window will remain. Instead I press Ctrl+N.
It's just the way my mind works :) I'm a tidy freak; when I'm
finished working on old stuff, I want to clear it off my screen
before I start new stuff. Your way of working is of course equally
valid; a good UI design should just support both, if possible.
