Fullscreening an app on a big monitor was never very useful in the first place.

We use a mac mini for a 'display wall' monitor... which it turns out sucks because OSX doesn't like you fullscreening things.

Then there's the good old 'everyone gather 'round, I want to show you how this works' type thing.

Then there's wild differences in the visual area available on a 13" screen vs 27"+

There's plenty of use for fullscreening programs.

I'd bet a million dollars Apple's gonna fix the full screen "bugs" in a future release. They probably just haven't figured a good way (and API) for that...
