Expose is my favorite widget. One mouse click, or drag the pointer to a corner of the scren and it instantly tiles every window I have open so I can easily find the one I want. Click on it and it becomes the active window. Far easier than trying to alt-tab through a list of open applications to find the one you want or hunting for it on a crowded taskbar or dock."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

Personally I stopped using full-screen on Windows as well once monitors got beyond 1024*768 - a window beyond that size is usually too big to use comfortably for applications like text editing or web browsing. Obviously there are exceptions like Eclipse or Visual Studio, but their UI is a number of windows within one window anyway, so the main window is more like a replacement desktop. I'm on Windows at ClientCorp at the moment, and not one of the dozen or so apps I have open has a maximised window.Comment
