Two questions:

1. Have you tried full screen in 10.9? Seems to have improved things a bit, though it's definitely a work in progress.

2. Which SSH client do you use? I'm considering getting a Surface 3 Pro, but the lack of a proper terminal like Terminal.app or Gnome Terminal makes me skittish. PuTTY is...okay. (The alternative would be to get a 13" rMBP to replace the one I'm returning to my soon-former employer this week.)

If you want a really good terminal on Windows, I recommend installing Cygwin. It's terminal is extremely full featured, as well as giving you a *nix way of interacting with your Windows install. I couldn't live without it!

1. I haven't, I'll have to give it a try.

2. I use KiTTY, a PuTTY port with a few extra features. It's not amazing but is decent after some configuration.
