Do you miss the "Open as Workspace" feature? Should we add it back?

Clever client users,
In Notes 6 and 7, there was an option to open a folder in the bookmark bar "as a workspace. "   Specifically, you could right-click a folder in the bookmark bar, and choose the "Open as Workspace" menu item and get something that looked like the workspace but was not the REAL workspace.
It looked something like this:


Way back in Notes 5 (or thereabouts). we tried to take the bookmark bar and its folders-- and provide a graphical, workspace-like layout. (Ok,  "we"is not entirely accruate because I was working on Sametime at the time... but it's the "royal development we")
We removed it in Notes 8.

My question for you:
Do you (personally) miss it? did you ever use it?
Do any of your "Samantha" or "Philippe" type users miss it?
Should we add it back? (It would be a lot less work than making a totally new workspace. but adding it back also means it comes back with the various usability issues that it originally had, like, once you drill down a few levels of folder, nobody could figure out how to go back up).

And adding this back would do nothing to help our lack of pretty icons. Just so you know :)
I look forward to your responses.
