While I wouldn't express my feelings that harshly, I agree. CTRL + Tab has a 
completely different order of documents for one thing, and it's as slim as 
possible.

And if I use some shortcut to do one thing, where does your idea come from 
that I'd suddenly want to use the mouse to put it into the suddenly appearing 
tooltip to do something different?

Really, this sucks so much. Can't you just add additional actions for your 
workingsets (something which is needed since long time, e.g. "create new", 
"close current", ...).
