Two points:
1. Super+E still exists in the Workspace switcher in Unity, or Super+S.
2. Zooming out to move a window decreases productivity. For people that know about it, they have to wait for the desktop to zoom out first (After requiring an extra click or key-press), then can move their windows around. New users would be completely lost as to how to use it, and would likely not use it at all.
It might be okay for power users, but for the majority of Ubuntu users, who look to Ubuntu to be easy to use without having to read a manual first.

What happens if you have a narrow window (GIMP, Empathy) stuck behind the icons on the right? I think that's why Wingpanel's behavior was changed.
i've been thinking about that point... i find it ridiculous.
the DE should be designed in a way, so that you can move a window without the need to grab it by it's chrome. At some point SUPER+E was useful in that respect, as it showed you the exposé of all workspaces, and allowed you to move the previews of windows. There should be a scaled window preview mode, in which you can touch, grab, move and close windows on your workspace(s).
