The problem with expose is that it moves your windows around and resizes 
them, many times unnecessarily.

When one uses workspaces, it is often not required to have windows that 
overlap each other. In other words, one sets the windows on each worspace 
so that they are fully visible. That's the point of having workspaces - you 
get much more screen real estate. The eye and the brain "remember" the size 
and the position of windows.

With gnome-shell, one gets expose behaviour by default when in overview, so 
windows for which one already "knows" the position and size get moved 
around and resized, so one has to search for them again. This is not only 
unnecessary, but tedious and tiring.
