The difference is that you don’t have maximized windows behind one-another. They get their own screen and you just swipe left or right to get between them.

Also, just a personal thing on my part, I don’t like the dock all up in my grill when i’m working in photoshop or komodo. I’m working, and i’m right where i want to be, i don’t need to waste an inch of screen space to give me options of other applications to open.

It’s not just about the screen real-estate, although that’s part of it. Sometimes, it’s about distraction-less mode, and having the operating system support it natively and provide a way to switch between full-screen apps in an intuitive way.

It’s a small think, and certainly not rocket science here, but I like it.

I really like this plugin. For applications that would use most of the screen anyway but might get in the way eg Eclipse it gives them some extra real estate and focus but keeps them separate from other things you could be doing.

Works, but I experienced this strange bug:

When in safari in full screen, bookmarking a site results in fullscreen not functioning properly, and had to be turned of and restarted.

This disappeared when I uninstalled.
