The first difference in my work habits between Linux and OSX is that I don't
have a workspace full of x-terms in OS-X.

I use Cmd-h to hide entire applications (and all of their windows) . When
you restore the hidden application, it remebers all of its window
placements, sizes, scroll positions etc. Hiding and unhiding apps is even
more flexible that multiple workspaces in some ways.
Also, have you considered multiple monitors ?

There are applications that do this including the Dock, but I think it is
private API.
