"We have good usability information that says that notification areas are swamps. They are swamps on Windows, and swamps in all the Linux distributions."
I use many, many programs at once, filling my three desktops, and I can safely say that I've never been annoyed with the notification area being clogged up. So far, the closest I've gotten to "swamped" is the following in the notification area: Pidgin, Thunderbird, Songbird, qJackctl, and Ardour. I have NO PROBLEM with that, and I love being able to send my apps to hide there. On Windows, I go nuts typing the command "msconfig" so that I can further clean up the mess that is the startup applications so I can clean up the task bar. I have never had a problem with the notification area in Ubuntu other than VLC (and that was easily fixable)
