I, too, prefer operating everything full-screen. The only time I'll run a window non-maximized is if I'm quickly throwing some accessory open that I'll use for less than a minute before I close it.
(edit: IM clients, too. Forgot about those. But, still, everything other than IM clients and quick accessories, I run full-screen.)
Yep. Notepads and calculators are what i most often run as floating windows. Mostly because i am referencing some other window for whatever i am working on.
