Agreed, I never utilized "multiple desktops". I never even used multiple monitors until about 7 years ago, even though I've been using a computer since 95.
I use multiple desktops a lot. Like all the time. i have six and generally about five of them have at least one window on them. I could have everything on one desktop but then it'd just feel crowded!
How do you deal with app overlap between projects?
I also avoid clickyui but I think the issue I have is that I struggle to think in terms of workspaces instead of applications. Also, I always struggled with the discipline required to keep tabs relevant to each browser instance - never mind browser state that should or should not span instances. I tried using Firefox Multi-Account Containers to help with this, but it seemed like I was spending more time adjusting and maintaining (fighting with my browser) than getting shit done.
I suspect things could be a lot better if we eliminated tabs/MDI altogether, but it'd be a huge step backwards for nearly 100% of users, so...
Eh, I've never mined it
But with different desktops everything feels so isolated. Everything is forgotten because it's put out of the way. Same with icon only task bars, and grouped windows. I can't imagine how anyone works like that without seeing the things that are open. Like it seriously makes me angry that people work that way
