I started using activities instead of virtual desktops with 2 desktops each.

Separate wallpapers, separate start menu favorites, separate panel pins, etc... Plus you can hide activities not in use to keep it tidy. I used to use virtual desktops more, but I think of it now as a 2D grid. Vertically activities very organized and for each you can switch horizontally where organization doesn't matter as much.

Activities are great except there is a bug where the little wallpaper previews won't show with the default, batch resized and renamed wallpapers.
