I've been playing with some OS X settings including to do with Hide-ing applications.
My question is, why would I want to Hide an application, rather than either shutting its window and leaving the app running, or minimizing it? Am I missing something obvious, or is it a legacy feature from before the days of Expose and straightforward window management? Or is it to do with apps with multiple open windows?
