Agreed, I never utilized “multiple desktops”. I never even used multiple monitors until about 7 years ago, even though I’ve been using a computer since 95.
I use multiple desktops a lot. Like all the time. i have six and generally about five of them have at least one window on them. I could have everything on one desktop but then it’d just feel crowded!
I also avoid clickyui but I think the issue I have is that I struggle to think in terms of workspaces instead of applications. Also, I always struggled with the discipline required to keep tabs relevant to each browser instance - never mind browser state that should or should not span instances. I tried using Firefox Multi-Account Containers to help with this, but it seemed like I was spending more time adjusting and maintaining (fighting with my browser) than getting shit done.
I suspect things could be a lot better if we eliminated tabs/MDI altogether, but it’d be a huge step backwards for nearly 100% of users, so…
But with different desktops everything feels so isolated. Everything is forgotten because it’s put out of the way. Same with icon only task bars, and grouped windows. I can’t imagine how anyone works like that without seeing the things that are open. Like it seriously makes me angry that people work that way

How do you deal with app overlap between projects?

Eh, I’ve never mined it
