And I have a working design for them: the Ctrl + Alt + Fn.
You get fully maximised "windows" all the time. There are no distractions on the screen apart from the app you are running.
Never mind cut'n'paste from window to window, drag and drop and all the other stupid things. You don't need that mouse of yours. You don't need to be looking at a spreadsheet while doing your tax return. You don't need to see several shells at one. All that is for losers.

Copy&Paste does work (between text-mode virtual consoles) assuming you use gpm. Never tried cut&paste, though.

He means that it is much less convenient to work with multiple windows at once if the metaphor is assumed to be "full screen all the time". Many people find it quite functional to have multiple windows open and visible at once both for moving information via mechanisms like cut-and-paste and for moving information through the eyes of the user and out to another window via the keyboard and mouse.
