I have a browser profile per workspace and git/aws/maybe some other env vars that are set up on a per workspace basis. To switching from project 1 to project 2 or personal I just click on the appropriate desktops in the status bar.

Which reminds me, another missing thing is the ability to have desktops displayed in the status bar and click on the one you want to jump to.

I tend to only use multiple desktops when I'm on a single screen or working on the laptop directly. In that case it's sorta a task thing, one desktop is chat clients (Slack and/or Discord), one is my editor, another is the browser, and a third is for terminals (for git etc). I use Rectangle to handle moving windows around.

I use i3 (tiling window manager) basically as a maximize-by-default: I have everything either maximized or split vertically once. When I use more windows than that, I typically spread them between workspaces.
