It doesn't have to be bad just because it's old. I find it very useful anyway. I use 16 desktops with Compiz-Fusion. That's 4 desktops per cube and it works very well. Easy to find every application window by looking at the cube from above (for example), in case I forgot on which side if which cube I left it. For fun I tried to have 1024 desktops (32×32) but after a short time experimenting with it I found that 4×4 desktops is perfect for me.
