The interesting thing about this feature is it makes full screen applications first class citizens in a way I'm not sure we've seen before on a desktop OS. I'm thinking you're probably right that for existing applications it's a minor feature but it may drive more applications to offer a full screen mode which is a good thing in my opinion. Being able to quickly switch between full screen apps probably lends this feature to being used as a type of heavy duty widget. If you check Facebook constantly maybe you'd want to always have the Facebook app running a gesture away from your full screen Twitter app.

- cookiecaper 16y agoI guess it's underwhelming because I've already had this for years on almost every window manager I've tried. Support is even better in awesomewm, which I am currently using (you can fullscreen apps that have no native fullscreen mode). I fullscreen something and can just Super ← (or various other key-combos) to another desktop. It's nice that OS X is getting these features now I guess, but shouldn't they have been included with Spaces?
- ezy 16y agoHey, I know, they could add a feature where you drag the menubar down to see the full screen app partially exposed running behind it. And the same for that app, etc. Wouldn't that be cool? Oh wait.... :-) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workbench_(Amiga) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workbench_(Amiga))
