I don't know whether they work with Mavericks, but there are at least a
couple of add-ons that auto-quit applications when the last window is
closed.

   - RedQuits
     https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/39814/redquits

   - StopLight
     http://lifehacker.com/202621/download-of-the-day-stoplight-mac

Of course, that is a nuisance when you want to clse the last window and
open another or create a new one.
