Some of the WMI features are nice, like the status bar with the workspace switcher and the clock. Can this be done in Ion? Of course, I'd probably stop using it after a week anyway ;-) I think that the decision to not leave out lua was a mistake, though. For me, one of the big attractions of Ion is its programmability.
