The preferences window would be useless without its search box.
I found Perspectives odd at first, but I grew to like them. For the work I was doing, being able to set up a couple of modes, each with its own set of open and positioned windows was rather useful.
As to workspaces, I initially found it strange that I was expected to have like all of my projects in a given workspace, but Working Sets (or whatever the thing was called that opened certain sets of projects and closed all others) made that pretty reasonable. I did end up having separate workspaces for my C++ work and my Java work, though.
