I don't remember VLC's playlist showing up at all unless you open multiple files at once
You can toggle it with the playlist button even if there's no videos in the list at all
I know it's available, but it doesn't pop up on its own unless you're loading multiple files.
Perhaps this is specific to the Mac port.
I just installed the Mac version again to test it, and the first thing that appears is the playlist window with an icon telling me to "drop media here".
Opening a file also shows the playlist window, which then expands to show the video instead. When you close the video, you're left with the playlist, which now contains that file.
