 It has excellent keyboard support, and obviates the need for programs like [Mozilla] to implement their own tabbing. In fact, programs that do their own tabbing are a [PITA] because you can't use your standard keybindings to manipulate them. 
  
 An example of its use, I have [TheGimp] set up to open on it's own workspace with the following layout:

 I've set it up so that the main gimp window (the one with the tools) opens in the top right frame, image windows and file open/save dialog boxes always open in the large frame, and all other windows/dialog boxes open in the bottom right frame. This means that the main image window is almost never obscured, and irritating popup windows (like for the !EyeDrop tool) always open out of the way. 
  
 While [Ion] isn't big on EyeCandy, it's extremely functional and useful, and I've found that it helps me to get on with whatever I'm doing - unlike a normal WindowManager, you don't even notice that Ion is there after a while (and a little customization)
