Nice guide Romeo!
Some apps aren't designed to actually exit when you hit back but just to sleep in the background. That's why I didn't bring those scenarios up. The only time you should be worried is if you are getting high awake times. If you have two dozen processes and low awake time then there's likely not an issue with the apps regardless of whether or not they exited when the back button was used.
