Typically the files that software like this finds are files containing the software settings. Some people don't always want to delete such files. Maybe someone wants to go back a version number of their software but keep the config. Having a system that deletes everything associated with a certain piece of software you want deleted would be a bad idea. @Jim: Apps are pretty much self-contained in most cases.

I can't believe there's no way to have an application be "self-contained." The most frustrating thing about OSX is that we have a need for an app like this to begin with.

When you send an app to the bin, AppTrap displays a small alert window saying "do you want to move these other files to the Trash as well?". That way, I can delete apps whenever I want, without ever having to open an app to do it. I prefer AppTrap by far, because it does that kind of thing in the background.
