I completely disagree. First of all, this is one of the most hated design
decisions of OS X.

Secondly, we want users to have a welcoming experience from other distros
and operating systems (namely Windows 95+)

Now, another argument which has been presented by shnatsel is that not all
windows have fixed width/height, some of them are dynamic and the width
they need when you maximize a window might not be the same some time later.

It could be an option, but I hope never the default behavior.

David "Munchor" Gomes
