Note that the Quit menu item is always disabled during application
modal operations (like an alert panel), so it's like this is
something extremely uncommon / unusual. Saying that this is anti-Mac
is a way too broad generalization.
Modality and other special "states" is something you should limit as
much as possible (IMO), but it's quite possible that it's warranted
in this case.
