Once you realize that, in regular spatial mode, the windows "dance" just as much
(as positions/sizes/etc are remembered, which is actually good), and also litter
the screen (taking one more mouseclick per navigation operation to clear the
mess), then you've made a first step. Another thing which could help is
accepting that Gnome developers may not make the best decision every single time.

Then the main issue is that there are a ton of people who apparently cannot
accept that what they like best isn't the default, which is actually quite
funny. Personally, I like this Ubuntu-spatial, which clears up the spatial
nonsense in a positive way (keeping the advantages of spatial), but I will not
make a fuss if I have to click on one checkbox in gconf to enable it. Grow up.
