The only thing i miss, so far, from ion3, is the ability to have non-dynamic layouts and the ability to call layouts by name, in order to bind them to a key. Some layouts are cool but only for some applications. Cycling through rarely used layouts is not convenient.
This is something I've thought about, and I'm sure other developers have also. I think in a release or two of xmonad you can anticipate having the set of layouts available on a given workspace configurable (actually, it already could be done via an extension in XMonadContrib). Allowing key bindings directly onto particular layouts would also be a natural feature to add. It'd be particularly helpful to easily switch between fullscreen and back to whatever layout one was previously using. These should be pretty easy changes to make, but one would like to put in the right infrastructure so that it will be even easier (and prettier). -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University
