I personally am a fan I find it to be like spaces except I can see them which makes switching between tasks smoother.

I leave it off, I don't see much use for it when I can just have separate desktops open for what I need.

What do you use it for that you can't do normally?

I like having similar tasks on the same workspace separated by mission control.

So I'd have my programming stuff, editor and browser, then maybe an issue tracker on workspace 1 with mission control to quickly switch between the two. I guess the dock might work for this use but it's nicer to have the context of which apps are in each control space.

Then in workspace 2 I have my calendar and reminders on different mission control spaces so I don't have to have them side by side and can benefit from a more full window size.

TLDR: minimise workspace count by grouping tasks of similar context.
