...and, I don't have a problem with the concept, or with the app remaining open, for the reason you state above. however, I do take issue with the program assuming that midnight is the optimal (and non-configurable) time to do this. I'm often still awake (and still using my NIT!!) at midnight. The calendar will pop up right in the middle of whatever I'm doing at the time. If it has to do this to keep the to-do list synchronized, that's fine... but let me decide what time each day it should do it.
