Had an IRC argument^H^H^H^Hdiscussion with colleagues about this. Apparently the green pastille is the "zoom" button, and Mac users like it. One thought it would also be nice to have a maximize shortcut, the others like it as it is.
Apparently this is a "Mac newbie" complaint. Presumably after being fully indoctrinated, you learn not to want maximized windows? I can see the argument that in a desktop fully capable of multi-tasking windows, it seems silly to revert to a single-tasking maximized window, but sometimes you just want to concentrate on one thing. (I'm typing this in a maximized window. My extended desktop has IRC and other distractions scattered around it).
