I really think this is overreacting. Some apps do work better as full-screen 
single task apps. iPhoto and iMovie are perfect example of this. Heck, even 
GarageBand I suspect. On the other hand, Mail is not a full-screen single task 
app for me, but it is for my wife. On the other hand, Pages is a perfect single 
task full screen app for me, but is not for my wife who is constantly having to 
reference other papers she's written (or other paper's others have written) for 
all her graduate classes.
