It seems that the "debate" between workspaces and viewports happened
back in January, someplace between someone's ears, and the decision was
made to drop viewports, and use workspaces.
Tragic.
Sadly, I have always used Viewports, and ignored workspaces. From a
functional point of view, I find them superior.
Is there any way I can contribute time/skills/whatever to make
workspaces work in every respect like viewports used to (with the
addition of user adjustable names)?
It is useful to push a window aside into another workspace to view what
is underneat, and yet still flick to the other space to view what we
have just pushed aside. The continuous slide is valuable. It is also
very useful with somewhat limited screen real estate, to be able to
flick from one port to another to read stuff that is too large to fit in
one screen, esp. acrobat stuff that imposes its format on the user.
