FWIW, I find them completely invaluable, as the screenshot at:
ACK, me too! Instead of Tobias' (great) idea with the smart folder I simply bump their scoring in Quicksilver to access them quickly.
I particularily like, that the .tmproj even saves each(!) document's selection which is great for repeatively copying and pasting.
I'm moving to filesystem metadata for this instead -- and I did manage to make a workaround for the AFP related kernel panic with setxattr, so this _is_ the future :) One concern is that Panther doesn't have setxattr and friends, but I do plan to drop Panther support long term (just haven't figured out for how long I need to support it, I'm thinking half a year or so, but I'll make the software update report OS version to get a feel for the migration rate among users before I make any decisions).
As for the actual project files… maybe they are unavoidable, my plan however is to make them as redunant as possible, so that one could work exclusively with scratch projects (i.e. just opening folders in TM) and still get the benefits of real projects (i.e. all state preserved accross sessions etc.).
@allan: yes, I mean the 'untitled' default filename that one gets when saving what you refer to as 'scratch' projects (the only ones I use)
Okay, I've changed that for 1.1b15.
