Since it don't make much use of spaces it doesn't bother me in the
slightest. When I do use spaces it's on one of the rare occasions I make an
app full screen. And I switch from one space to another with a swipe left
or right gesture. I only see Exposé display itself when I want to quickly
see all of the windows I have open.

I don't see how anyone can not be a fan of trackpad / touch screen gestures
unless they've never given them a chance. There's a lot of power and
efficiency in being able to control things without moving your hand.
