Once I counted 90 windows in my text editor alone.
I guess in Leopard I could keep one Space free for a desktop photo.
Geez, and I thought I was bad, too. Spaces was a big bonus for me.
Before Spaces came out, I used Desktop Manager in Tiger, just to keep
things out of the way. The only bad thing about Spaces is, there's
barely 16 of them...
Quantity isn't everything...

I don't want a space for each app; I want a space for each *project*.
A project might include Finder windows, text documents, Web browser
sessions, and Terminal shells. Also, indicating a window's space in
the Window menu would have been helpful. Another issue is that the
current application is a global state, not a property of the current
space. If I switch from space Foo to space Bar and back, I expect the
same application to be current, but that's not how Spaces works.
Speaking of which, can't I at least name my spaces to help me remember
how I'm using them?

Check out WindowShade X. It's a paid utility, but fairly cheap, and
extremely useful for clearing up clutter. Among other things, it lets
you roll up windows like in OS 9 --and then you can actually SEE your
desktop...
Activate windowless-app, Hide Others.
Hiding entire projects would be useful, but I'm not doing it manually,
window by window.
