I tested a bit these new "single workspace" approach. I see two problems:

User has to know where open windows are and switch to that workspace/screen. This leads to a lot off unnecessary seek/hide operations and additional burden on the user.

User selects Quit in Quicklist and it closes all running instances of application across all workspaces and there is no indication some open instances from this group of application exist because user can't summon them all on working space. The only way to find out is to switch among all available workplaces to find out if there are any opened windows belonging to this group of applications.

I must say i really don't understand why this was changed and this new approach can only work well on single screen/workspace setup and is not usable on multi screen/workspace setup but on single screen/workspace it already worked like that without any changes?
