What are the problems ? keyboard shortcuts ?
(some of the problems cited in are only found in OSX, ubuntu window
management is a little bit different)

If you have many windows and you want to place them, you may want to get the
grid which is a basic concept of zoomable user interfaces (zui). you have
all the space filled, and all windows in front of you to be placed.
In aza's model, you have gaps everywhere, so in cases other than with
keyboard shortcuts it doesn't look good.

He has also an open question which still with no answer:
What if I have more than 4 spaces ?
