What are you talking about here ? They are still there.

Four finger swipe up to get Spaces overview. Then click the plus button to add a new desktop.

Right, there are still virtual desktops in the form of Spaces, of course. Sorry for being vague.

I was referring to the ability to set up virtual desktops in a 2D grid, which was removed in OS X Lion. I got very used to a 3x3 grid of desktops where I can move around with Control + arrows. No animations, just instantly switching to another desktop. That is what I now use TotalSpaces2 for.
