I use Windowmaker, and I've mapped Mod4+Fn to choose which virtual desktop to jump to. So spaces is a natural fit. Where it chooses to open new windows is a little annoying, but nothing is nearly as annoying as Firefox's default behavior of "find a running instance, kill the currently starting process, and inform the existing process to open a new window".
