I don't believe that full-screen writing on a computer, which is designed expressly to allow you to multitask, helps to eliminate distraction. The problem with becoming distracted is not in seeing the edge of your Facebook window behind your writing app: it's having Facebook open at all, or letting it invade your mind. I do, however, find it visually pleasing to write in a full-screen editor, and use them for _that_ reason.
