I generally applaud the bold changes happening in the shell, but I disagree with removing the maximize/restore button. I'll paste here a comment I wrote on Allan's blog: 1) Drag-and-drop is very difficult on touchpads, and most people these days are buying laptops. Drag-and-drop is also undiscoverable. 2) Double-clicking the title-bar is undiscoverable. Conclusion: maximize/restore button should remain. Too me, it's a simple as that. I don't think the "cleanliness" of removing the button is worth the UX trade-off. Getting rid of the minimize button is great, though!
