Is "Force Close"ing bad?

[dnvnk]

Being one of the droid users on the "anti-task killer" program side, do you think it is bad to force close an app when you are done with it?

I feel like it may eat batteries, but I am hesitant to force close NESoid or Last.FM when I am done,simply because I think in a Windows OS mentality.

I don't go into my PC's task manager and force quit apps when I am done with them, because it seems slightly harmful to the smoothness of the OS.

So, is force closing a bad thing to do on a regular basis?

I don't think so, android force closes stuff in the background all the time, I am currently using a home replacement app (sweeter home 2) that is in beta and it force closes on me at least five times a day and my phone runs great
