In my house today, all of the computers are Macs. This is a long way away from three and a half year ago, when I said that Jaguar could not replace my PC. We're chugging along happily running Tiger, just as productive as before, and enjoying every bit of eye candy. But OS X isn't always cherry pie, it's got its own set of faults, and some can be downright annoying. UPDATED

Actually, the apps that DO stay open let you know, or at least ASK you first. So it's not inconsistent really.
What if I don't want to use a key shortcut? What if I want to be able to throw my mouse to the top right and click the X (presuming the app is maximized)? Why not make it possible at least?
Consistency is not as important as what the user expects. If an app lets the user know what it's doing, then consistency isn't as relevant.
At least in windows when an application does this, it puts itself in the "systray" instead of being hidden completely until you open a menu.
