At least full screen apps will satisfy Windows users who complain that Macs can't "maximize" a window.

Actually, I think it's a nice productivity boost myself. Of course, the app I most want to fullscreen is Terminal.

You can simply map the menu item "Zoom" under "Window" to your preferred keyboard shortcut. I use Cmd-Enter. It'll even toggle between "fullscreen" and normal screen. It's not true fullscreen, but close enough.

is there any reason not to use iTerm?

Vizor, and iTerm seems slow (last I checked, which was a while ago).

I just use Visor with the terminal (not iTerm) and it works fine for me.

In poking around for this Visor program, I stumbled across TotalFinder made by the same folks, and holy crap is it awesome. Chrome style tabs for my finder? Hotkey for sliding it in and out of focus? Who hasn't struggled to rearrange two or three Finder windows for some d&d? Yes please!
