  There are no arguments to be refuted. I made a strategic decision to not go forward with these direct shortcut copies from Windows. And instead encourage more thought being put into innovative concepts in the future.
  
  I am sorry for the strain that puts onto OP but we have at the moment a tendency in KWin (and in my opinion overall Plasma) to go for the least exceptional solution and instead just aim for already elsewhere established, crowd-pleasing, convenient ones. While I support this attitude in most circumstances, especially for a software product being in a late phase of its life-cycle, we need to push the boundaries as well in few limited areas. I identified VDs/Activities as such an area.
