Maybe it's nice if you can close bb code with [/].

So instead of this:

Code:
[plain]
[quote]test[/quote]
[b]bold[/b]
[/plain]

You can do this:

Code:
[plain]
[quote]test[/]
[b]bold[/]
[/]

What purpose does that really serve?

... and also avoids the problem of incorrect nesting.

Well... I think it makes it only more complicated. What if you use multiple tags on the same line (as it is often -if not mostly- the case in forum postings):

Code:
[plain][quote]test[/][b]bold[/][/]

What closing tag belongs to what? For me this is more confusing than including the tagname inside the closing tag.
 
I didn't say it made it more or less complicated to read, it just avoids the problem of users closing tags incorrectly.
 
Nevertheless, how much "easier" this seems, it removes a lot of functionality of BBCodes.

Like you won't be able to do this thanks to that ;)
Hello

Well, you will be, but it's much harder :D

Actually, with far less key strokes than you can imagine, it's easier than doing the BBcode by hand in the first place.
