I have the vague notion that Spaces is better about spreading apps across desktops and the like than they were... Huh, I never hide windows anymore now that I can spread out. :) So that particular problem, at least, doesn't affect me. Heh! Hopefully it isn't an OS limitation - I can't imagine it is. Hurry Apple (or 3rd party developer), you're my only hope! Yeah, I don’t remember exactly the problems I had with those apps - but I remember finding them distinctly unusable.

Except with those you could name your different desktops. So I'm not sure if these problems are somehow a limitation of the OS or what. Hard to believe if it is but it's a bit odd that these issues have never been fixed. My big issue with Spaces and virtual desktops in general on OSX is that I can't tie individual windows of an app to different desktops. Like if I have separate Firefox windows open in 2 different desktops and then I hide Firefox. When I unhide it, all windows for Firefox appear on your current desktop.
