Case example: a message flashed in Skype, Adium, any other event. A common action is to open the application (by clicking on the blinking icon in the dock), read it and close it back. In Win, this could be done intuitively by clicking on the icon in the dock, clicking it again hides it back.
Any ideas - how to configure this behavior in Maveric? Without hot-keys and extra moves?
I haven't found any such applications.

Haven't tried it, but it's highly likely that QuickSilver can be configured to do this.
For the described case, Mavericks has a native Notification Center , slide two fingers from the touchpad border on the right, on the touchpad - a panel with the latest "news" from applications will open on the right. To "read and close" - it's better not to come up with. It remains to configure applications to send their notifications there.
