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. :)
