I prefer having separate partitions because it's more in line with traditional unix systems, and in particular, I don't like letting users have unlimited access to /tmp.

/tmp isn't a place for people to dump their downloads, large file copies, etc. They should do that in their home directories. Having one big partition only allows people to abuse /tmp, among other things.
