An interesting sidebar does Mac handle swapping out applications better than Windows/Linux do? Both have a history of becoming unusable. I also suspect its more common for more expensive Mac machines to have more than minimally adequate RAM whereas many cheap machines are often sold with barely enough especially historically. Someone who cut their teeth on other platforms may regard the death of an application with its last window as an essential part of their machine staying usable. I don't know if you ever owned one of those really old windows ce devices but in a certain era it had the delightful workflow that closing them didn't kill them and after a while you could open as many applications as memory could hold and you would need to go into a different menu entirely to close unused applications or you couldn't open anything else. Like the worst of both worlds.
