I have a multi-monitor setup and I often find myself using particular monitors for particular applications. I would be annoyed if the operating system decided to start reorganizing them.
and it's not just muscle memory. it takes longer when you have twice as many workspaces in a row. if they would arrange in columns, say workspaces are arranged horizontally, but fullscreen windows are stacked vertically on top or below the workspace they were created from, i could work with that. just not the way macos is doing it, adding them to the end of the horizontal workspace list.
i just noticed that when i disconnect an external monitor, then a seemingly random number of windows that were not on the external monitor, moved to the active workspace. why, gnome, why?!!!
