KDE 4.7's plasma is now centered around activities - breaking once more the way many of us work with KDE.
Many on IRC voiced the oppinion that the activity manager shouldn't be part of the default plasma - including me.
But this would be a major divergence with upstream's default, so I would like to discuss more widely first. What's your oppinion?
Do you prefer virtual desktops or plasma activities?
I primarily use Virtual Desktops, not Activites, but... not out of any hate of the Activities concept... it's just that up until recently, Activities were not very usable. Every time I tried them odd things would happen.. even in 4.7 I've bumped into issues (although I haven't tried it out on the12.1 Beta1 yet). For example, on my 4.7 install on 11.4, if I drop into the Activites interface (where you can add/edit Activities), my CPU load skyrockets, and the fans switch to high speed. I'm definitely willing to give them a go again, but there's a part of me, and I assume others here too, that's gunshy about using them given our quite negative past experiences.
