Issue 2 you mention is an issue for me. If I am in Safari or Xcode and click that green blob, I get a full screen window. Now, what if I want to use Calculator to calculate something related to the webpage or code I am viewing? I use cmd-space to open Spotlight and type "calculator" and press Enter. Now, I get a calculator but on an entirely different desktop because fullscreen apps and non-fullscreen apps cannot share the same desktop space. It's STUPID.

I know you can hold down alt or whatever to make it behave like it used to, but I wish they'd put an option in to make it behave like it used to as the DEFAULT.

Just type your equation straight into Spotlight and it'll give you the result on-the-fly. Also works for unit and currency conversions.

Ah good plan. My main complaint is the breaking of "normal" window functionality though, not specifically access to calculator - that was an example.

But great idea nonetheless!
