It's a bit of a compromise I think. This way you can't lose any windows 
and gain some desktop space. I actually use virtual desktops this way. 
It means that my desktops are pretty clean (1-3 windows) yet I can 
access all applications with a single click.

For me it's the best of both worlds but that's because I've always 
worked in a similar fashion (using blackbox for several years :).
