I have seen indeed some people making a partition for each kind of data. The big problem with that is mostly that you can never calibrate correctly the size each will need. And sooner or later, you will start putting files in the wrong partitions, lacking space in the appropriate ones. So in general, "don't use partitions where you can use folders"

Exactly... you can use the available space way better with one partition and a good and clean folder structure.
