So far, most applications I've seen on OS X are all self contained in one
application directory. Where you used to have a folder with the application
executable, plus any number of shared libraries, config files, etc., most of
them are now self-contained. Initially, I felt like something was missing,
but now I'm glad because it helps reducing the clutter. The almost only
thing that will be left behind, like Eric Strobel pointed out, are
preferences files, or maybe a preferences directory.
