exit() lets the kernel die

When I am creating a new script with the command exit(), and run it inside Spyder, it kills the kernel instead of just stopping my script:

It seems the kernel died unexpectedly. Use 'Restart kernel' to continue using this console.

My workaround so far is to encapsulate the code into a main function and use return inside.
