How many times do you think you use exposé? For me, I would say at least 100 times a day. It's very useful on my part, since I have at least 4 different screens being used.

I don't use it nearly as much as I used to. I probably use "show desktop" a couple times a day, but I just use cmd-~ to switch application windows (unless I have a lot, which I rarely do) and cmd-tab to switch apps. I normally hide apps or minimize windows rather than leaving them open, so Exposé doesn't really see that much use. I don't use spaces that much either.

I really can't count the times as it's just a part of my normal daily OSX usage. When I need to get to a window fast I hit the button on the side of the mouse. Expose has been a part of the way I use OSX since it was released in Panther 10.3.

my mouse is set up for the side buttons as the dashboard and the middle button for expose. I find it easier for me that way.

Probably 100-500 depending on computer use. I am a constant use of Spaces, one of the best new native features that has been introduced in my opinion.

That's like asking how many times I use the Dock. Like travis said, it's such an integral part of using OS X that one simply cannot count the number of times it's being used.

I've never used it on my imac. I just use the one desktop and that's all I need.

Depends on what I'm doing... I'd say I use Command-Tab more often than Expose, but I do use Expose quite often. Probably Command/Tab 75% of the time and Expose 25%.

Exactly the same way I have mine setup!
