It doesn't take the whole monitor, there are five or six other things on that screen also left open. There are several advantages to it being open, e.g. it's slightly faster to drop files etc onto it in order to create emails with attachments etc.

It would probably not make a big difference if I did something like you suggest, however.

Right, yes, of course - I was typical-minding, I personally find having several small window open on a screen aggravating, seems "imperfect" and ugly compared to one maximised window per screen at a time.
