Well my experience stands, too many and everything bogs down, it only takes a second to open something no matter where you do it from.

If you're using a device with only the resources to run one app at a time or a operating system that doesn't do much to manage resources then this is true. However this isn't true of the iPhone. The question is do you want to manage the memory and resources on your phone yourself or do you want to let the operating system do this for you. If you mail, text or phone a lot then leaving these apps open will mean they're easier to bring up since you only need to go into the App /Switcher and furthermore they'll load faster since they're already in the phones memory or cache. I use a smart phone, tablet or computer because I want them to do as much for me as they can, and that includes managing their own memory and processes. This is coming from a 4S user. I do clear out the App Switcher though when the phone starts acting flaky, and I will occasionally just pro actively go in there and unload some apps I know I won't be running any time soon. I don't choose to spend my time going into the App Switcher and unloading an app every time I finish using it. This is just my choice however, and I probably deal with some flakiness I could avoid otherwise. Apple did implement multi tasking in IOS though, so it should be taken advantage of. If apps needed to be closed when you were done using them then I'd think Apple would make it a bit easier to do that than having to go into the App Switcher to do it. Just my $0.02 which people are free to ignore.
