Disabling one of the most powerful and work enhancing features is just
pure stupid IMO.  I can't believe this has gone through, it just
completely disrupts my work.  If this is removed by default then there
should be a configuration utility also available by default which
compiz-config is not.  This also relates back to the removal of the
custom effects from the visual effects tab, which used to fetch the
necessary package.  Now that was usability, and the constant trimming of
these nice usability functions is turning this distro into a static and
dull user environment, which is exlusively catering to noob users and
creating a rift for users with any technical skills, and making the
experience boring.

"disabling workspace switch when scrolling on desktop is one thing (and i think is just fine), but disabling when scrolling on workspace switcher is quite another."

that is a known bug in compiz which prevents scrolling on the workspace
switcher, and now there is no way without configuration to change
workspaces with the mouse wheel which is one huge step backward in
usability and many accustomed users are not going to be happy :(
