I certainly wish iOS managed backgrounded apps better than the article purports it to. If you have a handful of applications suspended, and you're using MobileSafari, why does the application dump tabs that you're actively switching between before the OS dumps suspended apps? You're creating memory pressure in a foreground app and should therefore be given priority. That's sort of where this thing falls apart: "iOS does it perfectly. Don't argue it." except when it does not.
