In the physical world, I mix and match media as suits the task, and the Mac mimics that. I don't fill my desk up with a notepad, then hide it and take out a calculator, then hide it and set up my easel.
Rather than taking out/hiding away your various tools and implements in your desk, I believe the idiomatic Linux strategy is to have nine desks, each with a single tool on it.

I have the following set up: Firefox and entertainment apps on Space 1, IRC on Space 2, XCode and MacVim on Space 3. I don't bind anything to the remaining 3 spaces. The combination of Spaces and Exposé makes for great window management. And yes, I love the multi-window aspect of OS X. Document-based applications are not only easier to use, they are easier to write, too.
