Agree.

I don't want to generalise why most of the users do full-screen.
For me the reason is display size, coupled with screen resolution. If you only have \
800x600, you simply need the space for your main window. If I have 1024x768 then on a \
15inch display I use full-screen, but on a 17, it depends on the application. If the \
resolution an the disply become even bigger, than I use full-screen very seldom.
