When I close an app, I expect to, y'know, close...stop functioning, stop using resources. If I wanted to keep it running, I would minimize it, but when I click close in OS X, it doesn't exactly close...it basically becomes a background process, sucking resource while not actually doing much. This isn't so much of an issue in these days of 4GB RAM computers, where you basically have resources to waste, but now my dock starts to fill up with all these "sleeping" apps, and when people use "saving screen space" as an excuse for not having borders on windows, you've got to question this apparent wasteful use of space.
I guess it just bugs me that the close button should be truthfully called sleep.
