You don't like it, but that's no reason to create inconsistency.
"Nine times out of ten when I invoke an app" -- Exactly, that's you.
Not the majority of users.
Imagine non-savvy users putting a Safari window in the Dock, clicking
on Safari, and it doesn't reappear. They might just forget about it
entirely.
But /regardless of whether this is right or not,/ I don't think
you're doing the world a favour by creating inconsistency.

Hi all,
I want to create a hack that would prevent document-based
applications from
bringing up document minimized in the dock when all of its windows are
minimized and the dock icon of the application is clicked.
Instead, a new
document window will be created.
Why do I want to do this? I personally feel Apple made a mistake
with the
current dock behavior. Nine times out of ten when I invoke an app
while all
its windows are minimized, I want it to create a new window instead of
maximizing an existing window. I think it makes sense that if the
user
minimize something in the dock, it should stay there until the user
explicitly calls for it. Anyone agrees?
So, my question is, how would I achieve such a thing? I understand
NSDocumentController is the object responsible for this behavior.
Could I
create a category that modifies its behavior?
