why should I have to CMD+W to close the document, then, CMD+Q to quit the app as i dont need it anymore
when all I want to do is close the app
CMD+Q and have it forget everything, then open as new next time
Apps written for Lion shouldn't need to be quit manually anymore, except for ones doing background operations. So you can mostly concentrate on managing app windows or documents. To have CMD+Q mean that the application forgets everything about its state seems very arbitrary. Especially when you're only forced to quit an app to make sure you have enough free RAM for other apps, or just want to turn off whatever the app is currently doing in the background.
