Relatedly I wish Mac's "mission control" and "app expose" was better, becomes difficult to find frequently used windows.. seems to place windows in random places. It'd be nice if it made it easier to see browser tabs.

I liked the the UI/UX of David Gelernter's "Scopeware" layer, that seemed like it would be a nice alternative to either of those.

I use Spaces a lot with Mission Control and now Stage Manager. Anything that's vital gets a full-screen space and I can just swap between them with a swipe or with Ctrl+L/R. It's very quick and I never need to search for windows outside of 2 or 3 swipes. I've also turned off the automatic ordering so my calendar is always the last swipe and my email is always the first.

I'd like to see a return of Spaces as they were in OS X 10.6, where they could be arranged in a 2D grid. That felt really nice and no desktop environment to date has reproduced it exactly, though a few Linux DEs get close.
