I think it is dangerous to take too much comfort
in the knowledge that Windows will return resources
after an application exits.
If you have a TForm that is repeatedly created and
destroyed during the life of an application, the
controls on that form will be destroyed each time
the form is destroyed. But OTHER objects created
by this form won't be (for examples objects you
added to a TList) and you could run into resource
problems if the application runs for a long enough
time without exiting.
Granted - it technically isn't a "resource leak"
- but that won't make your user any happier.
