I'm currently running OS X 10.2.6 on a Pismo/400Mhz/512MB/40GB with 5 partitions:
12GB main partition with OSX/OS9; 6GB partition with previous OSX version; 2 8GB partitions
for data and a 3GB partition for temporary stuff (now stuffed with music files!).
This situation seems to me to be a good argument for not using partitions. In my experience, I can never accurately anticipate the future need for space on a partition. I stopped using them a few years ago.
I'm using an Aluminum 15" PowerBook G4 with an 80GB hard drive, with 768 MB RAM. So far, I've put about 20 GB on it
Actually not a good argument for not using them, just one for good planning.
Perhaps for someone with far better planning skills than I have (or a functional crystal ball). My point above is that I've never been able to predict or anticipate accurately. I'm not saying that partitions don't have advantages, but that I find them outweighed by the disadvantages. I have learned the hard way the importance of regular backups, and use a somewhat redundant system for doing that.

Of course as per usual ... your mileage may vary!
