The confirmation (as a user preference) should only handle the case where the GUI is about to be closed. Entering "exit" should close octave without confirmation as is the case in the cli version.

This doesn't make it impossible to run existing Matlab code in Octave. It doesn't create an actual incompatibility -- it's just a cosmetic difference. This should remain as a feature request.

Please leave this bug marked as MATLAB incompatibility -- it does offer such an option.

Matlab doesn't need confirmation, nor Freemat, nor (last time I looked long ago) Scilab. Which doesn't mean this is a bad idea.

Anyway I'd say:
Only as a user preference that is off by default, perhaps combined with offering to save the workspace as that is about the only thing that gets lost when closing Octave.

(Release set to "dev")

either when Alt+F4, or clicking on the top-right corner, or maybe even the exit command.  GUI-only
