When I quit a piece of software, unless there's something important it has to ask me (like "Should I save this document") it should simply remove itself from memory, releasing any memory/disk space/network ports it was using at the time.

If I'd wanted to hear anything more from the software I wouldn't have quit it in the first place!

If I'm _forced_ to use something like that, I get in the habit of either `kill -9 `pgrep namee`` or `taskkill /y /name /f....` if it's a windows machine (but with actual proper switches as I can't remember it.....)

But, other than that, hell yeah!
