In win 3.1, I had full screen apps that were easy the change from one to another (alt+tab)… a feature that didn’t need any separate support from the developer. It just worked. Now I’ve been a mac user for years and I cannot believe other mac users for not recognizing that.

MarsEdit? It is a great app but the full-screen-mode is crap. It just maximizes the editor-window which gives you eternal long lines. No. 4 should be Scrivener or something from the OmniGroup…

Yes, full screen support was really a long time overdue for Macs, quite ridiculous that its not been added earlier. That said, the new fullscreen support is done a lot better and intuitive than it’s ever been in Windows (can’t speak for Linux though, as I’ve never used it much)

Full screen on Mac is completely different than Windows or Linux. It doesn’t expand on you desktop and it gives you the ability to switch to other apps easily. Don’t comment if you don’t know about it.

You do not understand how fullscreen works in Lion.

Add Scrivener, the marvelous writer’s app, to the list. A version with support for Full Page was released the same day as Lion.

MindNode – a mind mapping app – is easily one of my most loved Mac apps, already has Lion support for not only full screen, but also Auto-Save, Resume and Versions, and has great apps for iPhone and iPad too. Hands down the first tool I reach for when I need to think deeply about something.

I just wish that they found a better way to integrate the inspectors instead of having them just float on top of the page.

Are you kidding? You wrote actually wrote how the ability to “full screen” a window is, and I quote, “one of the best features of Lion”? If someone wrote that about ANY linux or Windows OS they would be ridiculed and likely never to be paid for writing again. However, about a Mac and it’s like sliced bread.
