Under dwm I use specific workspaces for specific things - my web browser always goes on the same workspace, regardless of where I am when I launch it. I have some rules defined in my dwm config that specify this. This consistency is one of the essential things that I like about dwm.
i brought this up a long time ago when xmonad was in its first public release. this feature is essential for people with slower hardware, as it allows them to start executing larger programs without interfering with the current workspace. i still keep dwm on my laptop because it takes ten seconds to start firefox - i can just issue my key escape sequence and keep on working. with xmonad i have to change to the desired workspace and wait.
