If you are using it:
1. How many spaces do you have?
precious there. I ctrl-arrow to the 'blanker' one before starting
something else. Then cmd-tab does a nice little Texas two step. It is
no big deal, but it is pleasant.
I changed the default 'expose' keys (see all the spaces at once) to
something harder to type by accident, and I like the shift-drag game
for moving all the windows of a selected app to the other space. But I
honestly use that less and less as I get used to starting on the best
space.
2. How do you organise them? Do you tend to use them as ways to organisectrl-arrow
applications or workflows? What I mean is, do you have one space where
your web browser sits, and one where your newsreader sits, and one where
your mail sits, OR do you have a space with a web browser, image editor
and text editor for building websites, and another with a web browser
(say with Facebook open), your email and your IM as a 'keeping up with
friends' space?
3. How do you switch between spaces? Ctrl-number, ctrl-arrows, F8, or
something else?
4. Have you added any hacks - like the 'different desktops per space'nope.

If you don't use it:I found a few apps a bit buggy with it. Word Windows went missing for
example.
Summary: Spaces is OK in moderation.
