I try to offload as much stuff from the web and into the desktop because it means I can do all my window management with cmd+tab and Spectacle. If something lives in the browser I have a second layer to manage with ctrl+tab, slowing me and increasing mental load.
My full setup is cmd+tab for application switching, Spectacle for window ordering, and ctrl+arrows for switching Spaces. Space 1 is my 'grab-bag' desktop, Space 2 is my browser windows, Space 3 is all my code editing stuff, Space 4 is messaging (Telegram/IRC/Slack) Space 5 is Spotify and Space 6 is Mail and Calendar. All applications are 'pinned' to only open in their respective Space, but can be dragged to another one manually. I like to think of it as a best-of-both worlds hybrid between stacking window management and tiling window management :)
