Ask HN: Can using OS X be simplified by removing the option to quit an app?
The current approach to starting and quitting apps is very confusing even to a computer scientist!
It's not clear at all when you should start/quit an app with respect to the subsequent impact on performance and usability.
- Jeremy1026 12y agoWith "App Nap" and "GCT" Apple is pretty much saying that you no longer have to quit an application. However, I don't necessarily buy that. Taking away the ability to "quit" an application will result in the less computer-literate consumer base throwing a fit about how the battery on their Macbook dies so much faster, no matter how optimized the OS is.
