Depends on how you organise things. I generally DON'T close most tabs I open individually. I tend to open more and more tabs until I'm forced to close them all or most of them to keep things organised and then I start again. With habits such as mine, opening a webapp as an application rather than a tab will make it persist longer and be easier to find. Additionally, while 99.9% of users won't take advantage of this, your operating system has all sorts of features to manipulate the window of individual GUI applications which it can't use in the context of tabs. Unattended automation of the GUI has all sorts of interesting applications. You can also get rid of some of the wasted space at the top of the screen.
