Why is the app closing completely if I press 'x'? wouldn't be much better to stay in background mode like Slack does (well and many other chat clients)? It's annoying...

I'll keep using my custom wrapper with NW.js (apparently this uses electron) until this behaviour is implemented...

For mac users there's ChitChat[0], it behaves as expected. In fact I'm not switching to the official WhatsApp desktop release until this issue is properly fixed.

ChitChat is great but is not _exactly_ like a mac app. You can't drag it from desktop to desktop. No big thing though.
