On the contrary I think it fits very well. For my optimal setup I would only have one single workspace. Split in two or four (equal) parts. As the day goes on it fills with windows for different tasks. Just staring up I load my IM client, calendar and mail client. Then starting work in an a number of xterms. If I then want to dig into a problem I need to stop the IM, mail and such. I think it would be nice to just hide/unmap the tag/group "Interupters". > , but in relation to floating windows, Ion does support groups.

(Never enough time).
