Yeah, that totally makes sense. I also was a windows boy, but I got annoyed by having every single app showing on every window all the time, since i sometimes have multiple of the same application open across different screens. I also really like having my main screen be the only one with a system tray, clock, and launcher, with the other taskbars purely being devoted to that screen's tasks.
It's always so interesting to see the different ways that people like to work.
