Does anybody here use it?

Does it ever bug out on you?Personal story:
I finally tried it out recently and started to really dig it (i had one mega space just for the internetz)—but it does random buggy things, like throw browser windows into new "spaces" that don't exist (even tho they're all sposed to open only in the one). Silliness. Maybe i gotta wait for Snow Leopold...

I tried it, and in theory it was really good. However, I am using Adobe CS2 which is totally incompatible with most things Leopard.
I think there is a tutorial on the Apple site. It’s pretty simple.

I used it when I DJ/VJ'd. I would have my dj setup in one space and the vj thing set up in another and toggle.

I use it.. one for internetz, daily things, the other three for Photoshop/illustrator/indesign..
Its a bit buggy at times.. but not too bad.. really sucks if im working on photoshop, and have I chat on, then someone decides to message me, while im on a critical part of a photograph, it automatically takes me to the first space... really fucking annoying.
- i got all excited the first time that happened, but i can see how that would suck

i was thinking about keeping all my CS3's in one, iLife's in another, internet in the third (cuz i rock mad windows and tabs yo), all iWork in the fourth, then general productivity/communication apps like iCal, mail, ichat, taskpaper available across the board..

Live preview in space 1, TextMate in space 2, SQL/Terminal in space 3, iTunes/Mail in space 4.

I find it useless. I set it all up and then never use it.

I feel the same way as 2cents. I tried using it once, as I am a big fan of organizational programs and tools, but I haven't used it. Ever.

Same here... have it, set it up, never use it. Until this thread, I haven't thought aobut it for months.

1st: Safari, Mail, Accounting, etc.
2nd: itunes,
3rd: coda
4th: photoshopthat's usually how mine is set up. if i'm using illustrator and photoshop i'll use 3 and 4 for that. for music i have reason in 3 and logic in 4. you get the idea.

add the finder to all windows and the finder windows are always visible in all spaces, they wont move when you switch. also, in 10.5.3, sys prefs-> spaces uncheck that last item.

anybody use it successfully with a dual monitor setup?
- Peter0
I dig spaces.
- Partly, for that lurching boss who passes by.
alt/option+left and it looks like I am back to work- Secondly, the whole work & play aspect. One screen for each. It's easy to manage your fun(tm)
