Comment 13 for bug 868423

I'm sorry, but I just have to put a rant here. Can you pretty please stop damaging multiple workspaces? Why do you hate them so much?

 * You already rendered the ws switcher in the Launcher pretty much useless. It now takes two seconds to reveal the launcher, then you need to click on the ws switcher, then move your mouse aaaaall the way to the other end of the screen and then double(!) click on the ws you want. This is ridiculous, and nobody who uses work spaces will actually endure this more than once.

 * Recently you broke the standard key combination for changing WS to Super+Shift+Cursor, which nobody knows and everyone is now complaining that you broke it. This is pointless and taking away the method to switch WS which is efficient and sensible.

 * Now you propose to completely take away the WS switcher from the Launcher entirely, which means that you effectively stop new users from learning that they exist, and force them to cram everything to one desktop again.

So from these it's clear that you work hard on effecively removing multiple workspaces. Instead of pretending that they still exist, can you please revert the standard key combination to Ctrl+Alt+Cursor, revert the launcher icon to a sane behaviour (just click on the WS that you want in the launcher, just as every other desktop does it), and instead we just provide an option in the control center "use multiple workspaces" which is off by default?
