Thanks for the explanation, Eli. The only time I would want to do that is when I am shutting down or rebooting the system for some reason. I want to cleanly exit and save all work. "M-x kill-emacs RET" certainly helps. Customization var like "kill-emacs-with-last-frame" could be a good idea. Or "C-x C-c" on last frame may be used to default to this behaviour; this will prevent any lost work due to reboot or shutdown. Because the daemon is invisible after last frame. Just an idea. "C-x 5 0" remains the same.
