Use a task killer or to not?

This is the only "task manager" I recommend

That seems like it does what every other task manager does, which is limit apps from going into the memory or kills them so more can get in there? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, RAM uses little power, not sure why people are so anal about the amount of processes in RAM. I think it matters more if the background programs are using CPU cycles instead of the amount of RAM.

It makes "the table" a bit smaller, I think. It doesn't appear to affect battery life and my phone never gets bogged down.

Verizon salespeople were installing the task killer and recommending it, :
Androinica » Google and Cyanogen comments imply task killer/manager apps are pointless

Verizon installed Advanced Task Manager on my wife's X and my Global back in January when we purchased them.
Guess I am better off without them!

A task killer is an app, and it should be discussed in the Apps section of the forum. We have a thread stickied for that purpose: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-applications/65483-task-killers-answer-google-developers.html

At least read the first 2 or 3 pages. That should answer all your questions.
