Probably odd for most people here, but the first time I started using workspaces on the Linux desktop was like this for me. My first experience with this was using XFCE4, which lets you literally push the mouse pointer off the side of the screen as if you were moving it to another monitor to swap work spaces.

Because I'm nearsighted, I've always been big on maximized windows, but until recently I didn't have enough money to even consider a multi-monitor setup, so when I first learned about workspaces, combined with that switching gimmick in XFCE4, my first thought was literally "Holy crap, this is amazing! Why isn't this available on MacOS and Windows?".
