On my iPad I don't close one application to activate another, I simply do a four finger swipe to switch between two different applications which is analogy similar to pressing Alt+Tab on my Windows laptop.
That's the whole point. I want to be able to take advantage of multi-tasking in real time and, in my opinion, the best way to do that is by placing two or more windows side by side. Unfortunately, the full-screen mode which Android and iOS apps are based on prevents me from doing so.

I know that Android and iOS are capable of doing multi-tasking (with some limitations due to battery saving), but having to do a four-finger swipe is not as comfortable as looking at an open window. Even Windows 3.1 was capable of doing some multi-tasking (cooperative, not pre-emptive multi-tasking) but this has very little in common with the enormous flexibility of Win32 that I am used to.
