Lion (previous version) did that, as well, but the application always went to one monitor. Mountain Lion's "fix" was that now you can specify which monitor the full-screen application goes to. It's not really a fix at all; then again, the application full-screen mode seems like it was designed for small screens (like the 11" and 13" laptop systems). Combined with the ability to swipe between full-screen applications, most days I don't even bother to plug in my secondary monitor, though.
I've had and used a dual-screen setup (and went to a tri-screen setup in my research lab) for years now, but I never got the impression that it was really a mainstream thing. My favorite multi-monitor software was Ultramon, which I used with Windows XP. I doubt we'll see anything like that baked into an operating system as long as single-monitor systems are the majority standard.
