This is by far the most annoying change in unity. I'm a casual user. I loved the workspace separation. And the fact that I could just pull up all the windows of one application together, instead of trying to remember where I left what window.

With tabs in browsers, multiple instances of the browser open, over several workspaces finding my open window has become absolutely helish.
There isn't even any indication of how many windows are open in total. Only shows the ones in the current workspace.

If there were some people who didn't understand this workflow, it would have been MUCH nicer to have the choice of behaviour left to the user. How did the developers working on this problem assume that ONE way is much more intuitive than the other. And then change something that has been in use for over a year. I didn't see any poll or study done. If there were issues, both options should've been available.

I liked unity, for several reasons, but now i'm just gravitating toward gnome 3, inspite of it's wannabe mac interface.

I hope someone is reading this.
