I only upgraded to Lion recently and I think I understand now why Mission Control annoys people. Questions:
1) How do you assign an application to a space? I guess dragging and dropping, but not all apps appear below the spaces. Weird.
2) How do you make an application appear in all spaces? I really want Finder in all spaces like I had it before.
Basically, I want my old Spaces behavior back! Is that possible?

Right click on the app in the Dock. Under Options you can assign it to a particular space, or have it displayed in all spaces.

Well, I'm sure that's got to break some Apple human interface guideline. All options should always be available in a regular menu, not exclusively in a context-sensitive menu.
Thanks for the tip.

Apple HI Guidelines have only ever applied to other people.

there is an unfortunate Trend towards hiding functionality behind right-clicks at Apple.
I hate it.
BUT: less advanced users will be migrating over to iOS anyway, while this trend continues. Ah well.

Also, having apps assigned to individual spaces does not stick when you quit and relaunch apps.
That REALLY sucks. I want Logic and my interface console in their own space, and I have to reassign them every time I relaunch the production environment.
It's my only real gripe with Lion apart from Address Book.
