new Terminal windows run "login shells"

> 'exit' merely quits the shell and leaves the window open

Not on my machine, it doesn't. I always use exit to close a terminal window, because I didn't log in to it and so that's what feels natural after years of Unix. logout also works, as a convenience, but I don't use it in local windows.
