I use the multiple desktops/spaces on lion quite a bit on my MBP 13". Mainly due to screen size. I find the new expose/spaces combo to be pretty good.
I keep a lot of apps open at the same time, and I like to keep each one on it's own desktop with a couple minor exceptions.
I don't like the All-In-One version of xcode... not friendly with a small screen at all. Xcode 3, I would keep the doc window on it's own desktop, Interface Builder on it's own, etc... xcode 4 I lost that ability.
I use "fullscreen" mode occasionally; when I do it's usually a web browser or a terminal window. I'd use it more but even in fullscreen mode, I still want to be able to open a terminal window and keep it on top of the fullscreen app. Like for copying an example from the web.
It's too frustrating to do that if I am having to swipe back and forth between desktops...

Xcode 3, I would keep the doc window on it's own desktop, Interface Builder on it's own, etc... xcode 4 I lost that ability. It’s all-in-one because you let it that way. You can create new windows and put IB, debugging, editors in separate windows or tabs. This article explains one good way to do it http://brian-webster.tumblr.com/post/22060296528/how-to-make-xcode-4s-ui-work-for-you-maybe http://brian-webster.tumblr.com/post/22060296528/how-to-make... Life has been much better since I started embracing Xcode 4 instead of stubbornly trying to make it work as if it was Xcode 3.
