There is an option in preferences too I think to switch back to the old way by default.

Apple *could* have added the fullscreen feature but informed us that you have to hold the option key down to do it. Instead they did the reverse. Their thinking is probably that if they don't force people to use a new feature, they probably won't. Very likely. On the other hand, I don't feel developers should take the liberty of changing how I work on *my* computer, without having a really good reason for doing so.

Fullscreen mode for a stack on osx seems more like kiosk mode. I'd 
expect that fullscreen would maximize the stack, the way it does on 
other platforms, and the way other applications work, and that kiosk 
mode would be a more specialized when you really don't want a menubar 
appearing at the top of the screen.

But then if I wanted some control over my environment I'd use linux.
