Why? Technically I could be auto-creating (I have auto-versioning enabled) 
two new versions of the elements that are swapped. No need to make a page 
version. So I can also keep my element ids.

Without offence to the coders, I think that only very, very few admins set 
up workspaces.

It's complicate to set up with proper permissions (db mounts, file mounts 
issues). There seem to be bugs or at least unexpected behaviours with page 
permissions and configuration. Too me many parts of the UI have rough edges 
(I recently found a bug that discloses pages to editors; 
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=4207) including complicated and 
non-localized error messages.

There are quite a number of bugs which should be addresses in 4.0.3.

And I'm content with minor tweaks and enhancements in 4.1. I have filed 
quite a bumber of small issues that would enhance the overall experience of 
workspaces. Some I could do my self but I really would like to see the 
couple of major bugs fixed by the original authors.
