If emacs wasn't taking up the whole screen, I'd have a scrollbar running down the middle of the screen, which would be really visually distracting.
I used virtual desktops a lot back when I used Linux for my desktop os. They're great, and I'm sure I'll use them again when I upgrade from Tiger. But, for me at least, they're no substitute for maximization.

- abstractbill 19y agoHeh, I'd never get anything done with all that clutter ;-)
- jrockway 19y agoYeah, that is more of a "this is possible" thing :) In "real life" i use the same size screen, but with the right third consisting of an irc window, REPL, and terminal; and the other two-thirds 2 or 4 files of code. Still cluttery, I guess... but I love it ;)
- boucher 19y agoI pity someone who spends more than 90% of their time in emacs. In fact, I pity anyone who spends 90% of their time in any text editor. Googling for things alone probably takes up 10% of my time, plus the time spent in my app, plus the time spent doing none of those things.
- paulsilver 19y agoIf you'd like to try them before upgrading, you can use VirtueDesktops from www.virtuedesktops.info - it's free and a pretty good virtual desktop app.
