I know the dock was supposed to do away with indicator lights right up until the retail release itself. The message is clear: don't worry about what's running or not. Apple went back on it at the last minute, apparently. Before upgrading to Lion I kept everything closed but my active windows. But I decided to turn off the dock indicators as an experiment and I have to say, my experience has improved drastically. I don't close things anymore, and I don't worry anymore. For example, opening iTunes, which I do about daily, is no longer a ten-second wait, which is actually kind of soothing.
