Honest question:
Should whether an application is running or not be a concern to you? Why would you ever want to actually quit an application?
Granted, I understand that in reality the app might be misbehaving, hogging resources and whatnot and that the underlying OS isn't perfect and we should absolutely have control over how our hardware is utilized, but from a UX PoV I think the notion of a running process isn't of interest to me unless I am developing software.
If I close a window, I just want to get it out of my way. I only leave things running as a workaround to the possible slow cold start the program may present.

- rdsnsca 5y agoQuitting it won't do that, MacOS keeps the icon on the last 3 programs run in the dock (task switcher).
- pseudalopex 5y agoThe task switcher is what pops up when you press Cmd+Tab. And showing recent apps in the dock is optional.

- Hammershaft 5y agoI mean, you'd achieve the same thing if an application closed after you completed the tasks that used it?
