I recently moved from Opensuse with KDE (opensuse user since 2002) to Ubuntu, and I must say, this is the thing that annoys me the most in Unity.  I also feel it should be an option.
In KDE it is a tick-box.  By default it shows everything, but you can set it to only show the windows in your current workspace.
This is great for separating different types of activities you are busy with.
KDE takes it one step further, and you can even define more activities, each with its own set of workspaces, where you can even set different backgrounds etc.
Other than this, I like Ubuntu a lot, and can see why it is so popular, so I will probably keep using it regardless.

  should be possible to display only windows from the current workspace

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  Since unity targets desktop users as well in natty it should be
  possible to set a configuration settings (could be a gsettings key)
  that lets the launcher display only applications on the current
  workspace. While that mode might not be useful for most users it's
  something technical users using workspaces for their different
  activities are used to.
