I find it both a blessing and a curse--it's nice to segregate my contexts, but it's set up to have each app assigned to one space, rather than used everywhere, and the resulting window system behavior can be quite annoying. I'm a big fan of Witch for window switching from the keyboard. Have you found add-ons to help out with Spaces? I’d be curious to hear how Spaces is working for you.

It doesn't happen often, but it was happening enough that I've stopped using it. Spaces loses windows randomly, and I find this really annoying.

Not doing this can make afp transfers (like Time Machine backups) take forever... You can set it manually via "sysctl -w net.tcp.delayed_ack=0" but that won't survive a reboot, so google for "DelayedAckHack" and install the little launchdaemon script which sets it on every reboot.

Out of the box I find it basically unusable. First, enable the use of any network drive for backups using : http://www.xiotios.com/itimemachine.html Then set Time Machine to stop backing up every time it mounts the network drive and set it to only backup once a day at 12:01am using: http://timesoftware.free.fr/timemachineeditor/ It took me months to make time machine not suck.

I use it all the time now. Click an icon and use the space bar to active it. Quicklook is great. I use it all the time now. Click an icon and use the space bar to active it.

So I have mine set to ^1 for space 1, etc. Works great for me. I too use Spaces, and you can at least set it to allow you to use Control/Command/Option + Numberkey to switch spaces.
