Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
First want to note that this may be more of an opinion than bug though I do consider 'usability' issues to be bugs
I've use unity on both a smaller laptop (13 in.) and desktop (23 in.) and do prefer in most cases to not use maximized windows by default, only maximizing when desired.
While the 60% cutoff is not as big an issue on the desktop as the laptop, in both cases the value is too low. On a laptop, to stay below the 60% forces one to use too small a window, any comfortable sized non maximized window will go above 60%
So on both I've adjusted the valve to 80% (0.8) and find that works quite well and allows the reopening of unmaximised windows of a comfortable size.
I would suggest that 75% would be a decent default vs. the current 60%

Agreed. Let's move to 75% and test that for a while.
