I agree completely.  When I was writing the Update Alert applet for 
Dropline I was trying to figure out a nice way to use the notification 
area, but it just didn't make sense.  An applet is a much better way to 
go in this case since there are no other windows or parts to the 
program--as far as the user can tell, the little icon *is* the program, 
which is exactly the purpose of an applet.
