You might check my blog on 45 desktops setup based on FVWM. I still use the same setup today, for about 18 years already:)
It is so powerful that I feel arms and legs bound when I sit in front of desktops-enabled XFCE or unity

Of course I wish to jump from FVWM to something more modern. Have been on constant search for past 4 years. So far I haven't seen anything close that might give me instantaneous switch to any of 45 desktops. The single feature raises my productivity as sysadmin by tenfold.
It is all about instantaneous switch.
I manage about a hundred computers and serve as point of contact for all technical questions about them. It is very useful to be able to connect to any of the computer I wish using single keystroke. In these 10+ years I remember placement of every computer by heart and usually don't spend more than a second to switch to the virtual desktop. In rare cases when a terminal to a computer is closed (computer rebooted or network problems), my setup automatically starts new terminal according to the particular workspace setup.
Besides connectivity to the computers, there are ongoing projects with many windows open. It saves lots of time to have all task-related windows in single workspace and be able to switch between tasks without having to set up work environment anew.
Just compiled the latests asterisk from SVN and it WORKS!
All my friends can call me at normal handset!
I can now call my asterisk from GTalk!
At zero configuration!
RIP SIP! We barely knew ye...
