Not sure what you mean here, since for the most part Spaces does what
it should do - provide virtual desktops. Care to explain?

I like the 'mixed-metaphor' of a dock (or dock-clone) as well as
virtual desktops together. Sometimes it is just easier to click on an
active application in the dock and to be taken directly to the
application and its' desktop (without having to perform the mental
arithmetic of remembering which desktop the app is on). Sure I have to
reach for der mouse, but think it is worth it in that case.

Cheers,
Jonathan
