Build Identifier: I20110613-1736 When every project is assigned to a working set, the empty "Other Projects" working set is just annoying, in particular when all other working sets bear lower-case names and "Other Projects" thus shows up first (with "Sort working sets" enabled). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Move all projects to a working set. 2. (Optionally) enable "Configure Working Sets/Sort working sets".
We could add an "Empty working sets" filter, but this is low priority for me, given that you can easily hide the "Other Projects" working set manually via the Configure Working Sets dialog or by selecting it and hitting the Delete key.

I wasn't even aware that one could delete just "Other Projects" (after all, its "Properties" states that it is "read-only"). So this is not urgent, especially since the workarounds you suggested work fine (although simply hitting Delete never even occurred to me).
I want describe another use case for this feature to maybe boost the priority a little. When you have something like 15 working sets to organize your projects (maybe in categories of core libraries, external libraries and apps) and want to use the "filter closed projects" option. You might end up with a lot of empty working sets and only a few with actual entries left. It would be nice if those "seemingly" empty working sets would disappear in order to get a good overview over the open projects. This would also require the "empty working sets" filter to look at the entries that would be displayed not only if there are entries.
