Comment 53 for bug 147230

Disabling one of the most powerful and work enhancing features is just pure stupid IMO. I can't believe this has gone through, it just completely disrupts my work. If this is removed by default then there should be a configuration utility also available by default which compiz-config is not. This also relates back to the removal of the custom effects from the visual effects tab, which used to fetch the necessary package. Now that was usability, and the constant trimming of these nice usability functions is turning this distro into a static and dull user environment, which is exlusively catering to noob users and creating a rift for users with any technical skills, and making the experience boring.

"disabling workspace switch when scrolling on desktop is one thing (and i think is just fine), but disabling when scrolling on workspace switcher is quite another."

that is a known bug in compiz which prevents scrolling on the workspace switcher, and now there is no way without configuration to change workspaces with the mouse wheel which is one huge step backward in usability and many accustomed users are not going to be happy :(
