(Get the code!)
I fully agree with #16, I think the old behavior makes the grid plugin *very* useful when arranging several windows on the same workspace. Just making everything occupy half the screen isn't as useful. I like to get the "Ubuntu really is much more useful than Windows 7" feeling.
For example, maybe I want Firefox to occupy 75% of the screen (so I can use the Treestyle tab addon to put my tabs on the left side of the window and still see the web page I'm on), and then keep a text editor on the left side. With the old behavior, this just required a couple of ctrl+alt+6 and ctrl+alt+4 to get it *just right*, whereas with the new behavior I have to drag stuff around with the mouse and probably won't get it *just right*. I like the old behavior. Why not have an option to activate it in CCSM? Both easy for newcomers, and easy to activate for people that want it.
