Agreed. I've seen my /tmp well over a gig when editing with Cinelerra (video). Rendering video and keeping an "undo" level eats space.
I guess it can be a hot button with some, but I still stick with the old school of separate partitions for nearly every root partition. I guess to me...it just feels "safer". Add to that, I am off the power grid, and although it is really rare, there are times that a switch from generator to inverter power will produce a hard crash. In the past 6 yrs, I have only (rather reiserfs) failed to recover ONCE ...and that was a lost /tmp and /usr/lib, both at the same time. I really think that was a head crash, as I was never able to re-use those two partitions. The drive itself, however, is still going strong, a year later.
