have quit, eventually the whole application will crash (due
to the OOM killer) and THAT is pretty bad for usability.
What you are describing are commonly referred to as bugs and design
flaws. They should be fixed. You don't include poor ui because you're
too lazy to fix the root problem. When you do that you end up with the
gnome 1.4 control center.
