That's super cool, and actually useful cause it tells you something as opposed to being inactive text.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Neat
Activities at least said something but it wasn't clear what an activity is in general.
I don't think this icon really conveys what it does or what to expect from it when you look at it.
Since I'm only seeing people lauding it, what makes this such a great change, because I'm not getting it.
It may not make it clear just by looking on it, but once you click on it or create a new workspace, it becomes a nice visual to help you remember which workspace you're on and which ones you have available.
Pretty much everybody using a window manager already uses one like this.
It's great, but it looks weird and is not friendly towards people that have no idea what it is.
I assume it will be explained in the quickstart tutorial. Once a user knows what it is it looks fairly intuitive.
I can’t wait for this to arrive in the next version of gnome - version 61.05.
I know you're making a joke, but you can install the extension today to get the proposed feature. (How to install it is even mentioned when you follow the link.) There's no need for waiting.
