Ever since I switched from Ubuntu to OSX I've been missing how simple and useable Virtual Desktops are.
I used them all the time in Ubuntu, and I had a keyboard shortcut to move the currently active window to any adjacent virtual desktop (with loop around).
This was great when a context switch happened in a virtual desktop dedicated to project A. I would just realize I need to do this on a separate desktop, and use my shortcuts to fling to an empty one.
On OSX this involves clicking, dragging and aiming at the correct space, which completely stopped me from using spaces at all. I tried dedicated spaces for certain applications, but found that to be annoying when I want to run one of those apps in the context of my current space.
I was kinda hoping Lion would improve on this, but sadly it seems they went the opposite direction.
