Short description of error
Blender does not quit when there is unsaved data.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
With the default cube scene.
mentioned this informally to @Harley on chat but unsure if he's working on a fix or not.

This is a known issue - mainly due to limitations in the operator system.
@JacquesLucke has fought with this.
It's still a valid issue, so I set it to Confirmed, but there seems to be no immediate solution.

I think he was... D5096: UI: Exit After Successful Close_Save
I did make a patch for that, and subsequently abandoned it. The patch addressed the above steps perfectly. It quit after saving a new file, and it did not quit if you selected "cancel" in the File Manager.
The problem is that it broke related behavior. So opening a blend file, or creating a new one, while you have a never-saved file open. In that case it would prompt to save and then quit when you want to carry on with the new file. Looking through all this stuff (wm_files.c) I can't see any easy way to get that early intention (quit or carry on) to where it needs to be acted on after the file manager save. It is a complicated dance and will leave it for someone else smarter. LOL

Changed status from 'Open' to: 'Archived'
We should improve this, but it's not a bug.
what is our definition of a 'bug' ? I always used 'works as designed, but perhaps not optimal' as the cut off for closing tickets as 'not a bug'
But you surely can't be making the case here that we designed File->Quit not to quit, File->New not to give me a new file and File->Open not to open a file if there was work to be saved?
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that the deeper underlying issues are not easy to solve, but hard to solve bugs, are bugs.
it's strange UI like this that make people go 'blender is just weird for the sake of being weird'
There was a code review for the quit dialog changes, where this was accepted as a known limitation.
