See, I don't really agree with that. Yes, fullscreen is worse than useless on more than one monitors. But you don't have to use it. Fullscreening an app on a big monitor was never very useful in the first place.
But as I said, inertial scrolling is great. Spaces are great. The gestures to navigate spaces are great.
All that Versions and Autosave stuff is atrocious. But I rarely stumble into it since I mostly use Emacs.
I really like the non-existent scrollbars. I don't miss having those ugly grab-bars on every window one bit.
All things told, I'd rather have Lion than Snow Leopard, but really only by a small margin.
Except that the useless button replaced one that I actually used before. Especially Finder windows are a pain to get to 'normal mode'.

The problem is that they only work when the content is obviously clipped, which is easier to ensure on the iPhone.
I had two instances where the content seemed to perfectly fit its box (Xcode4 & Recovery Partition). Took me a while to find out that there's more.
I appreciate what Lion aims for, but I could rant about its usability for hours. Almost all my bugs are duplicates, and they are all still open even after 10.7.3. :(
I'd bet a million dollars Apple's gonna fix the full screen "bugs" in a future release. They probably just haven't figured a good way (and API) for that...
If inertial scrolling were actually implemented everywhere, I might be alright with it. Instead, it exists for the normal case of scrolling content, but when you go to use spaces you hit right and the content goes left. The same thing happens when you scroll to the side to go back/forward, though this is only true if you conceptually represent your current web page as the rightmost of a sequence.
I have liked that Spaces is no longer incredibly broken, but it's a bit annoying that I can't have any configuration other than a really long line full of virtual desktops.
