Screens are getting bigger, but people are usually still designing for a width of 800 pixels. I know I'd be pissed if I had a 1600x1200 screen and a site resized itself to fill the entire width. Check out all that blank space on each side...

Personally, I find it annoying. One reason I like to have browser windows smaller than full screen is that I can see when new ones open. If they're all full size, it may not always be apparent. Since I became a TGP webmaster I've given up on resizing the window back, because I'm pretty much guaranteed to have my browser changed again 2 minutes later as I go to check a trade.
