I cannot believe how much I like full screen apps. When I first heard about it I thought, ya big deal. But omg, what a surprise. Four finger gesture swapping between screens is so smooth and so fast. Here is a shot of my Mission Control (Three finger swipe outward)

Desktop 1: My usual cluttered desktop with a bunch of apps running
Desktop 2:. A clean view of me desktop. I can get at the temporary files I am working on
Desktop ?: Full screen PODcast I am watching/listening to
Desktop 3. Full screen Parallels running AutoCAD

I am continually amazed at how powerful my Mac is. It is official, I have become a FanBoy and I am happy about it

Ooooo… I get it now! Going full-screen in an app moves it to its own Space. I didn't realize that's what was happening so you could still flip back to other open apps on the regular Desktop space more easily. Nice!

Yes, and you can easily create a screen for any application. Just drag an app from the center of mission ctrl to the upper right of the screen
and drop it on a new screen. Bingo! H
