+1 "Please god no."
Anyone who thinks having applications manage their own windows is a good thing needs to spend more time with applications that become unresponsive on Windows. If you think about this from usability perspective for newbies, clicking on the "X" in the upper right hand corner of an unresponsive app is much easier than trying to find and learn about Task Manager on Windows if you don't already know about it.

Err. Not sure what you are complaining. Windows does note that you try to interact with nonresponsive app and asks you if you want it killed. It does take some time before it decides that it's gone, though.

On OSX, a hanging app blocks the complete menu, including the apple system menu. I know about the shortcuts, but it's very inconvenient. To me, window management isn't an application concern.

It's not about killing unresponsive apps, it's about being able to live and operate with (potentailly temporary) slow apps without being impacted by them. Killing an app is hardly an acceptable solution. I can pull the plug too if things get really bad, but I doubt that is a desirable solution. :)
