I guess I disagree with this. For most applications there is a folder 
containing the application, and a preference file. No different than 
most OS X applications. Yes, in OS X that folder can be a bundle which 
is no different with respect to deleting it.

Do you have iTunes installed?

The application is in the /Applications folder
There's an iTunes folder in /Library/Application Support
There's an iTunes folder in ~/Library
There are 3 (on mine) com.apple.iTunes/xxxxx files in 
~/Library/Preferences

Multiply the last two by the number of users on the computer who have 
used iTunes.

In OS 9 (IIRC) there's the application folder, two extensions, and a 
Preference file. Three places to look as opposed to a minimum of 4 in 
OS X.
