As you added more workspaces the preview got smaller and smaller and you couldn't manipulate the app windows anymore. The linear mode solves the scalability problem but has some problems especially when it comes to window management that I don't like. So it's good that we 're looking at other alternatives as I don't think the natives will like the current linear workspace setup as it is currently presented. I filed some bugs on one or two of the problems. I was very excited about grid mode and was disappointed it when it was gone. But everything is still work in progress. But if you want to help influence, then I please get involved and help out. Gotta pay to play sometimes :-) sri
