Please no. This is one of main feature that keeps me away from IDEA in general: 1. Nested projects are useless when you want keep one project in more than one parent. It also force you to maintain structure outside eclipse, and cannot be used to filter resource based views. 2. Switching workspace is too slow for fast switch (open/refresh/build), and not allow to show all without additional workspace.
Maybe rather than remove working set feature, rethink how it they are maintained, for example lot’s of toolkit’s create own working set types, PHP, JDT, Mylyn, so: 1. each working set wizard works different. 2. they are not shared between views.
Let's start with
http://help.eclipse.org/neon/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Fconcepts%2Fcworkset.htm
Out of the box most views use the
WWS by default, which allows to quickly switch the working set for
all views in a window. In previous releases there were toolbar
buttons that made it easy to tweak the WWS. Those are now hidden by
default, but can be made visible again via Window > Perspective
> Customize Perspective...
As I said before, I'm also not
using WWSs and I doubt many people do. So, might be time to retire
them if no one objects here.

I have to admit, I'm also curious. My usage of
working sets is exactly like yours. I'd suggest we do some code
archeology and try to figure out what use-case window working sets
(and working sets in general) were intended to support. If the main
use-case we care about is the adding-structure to the
package-explorer use-case that you and I seem to use them for then
we could probably brainstorm a much more efficient UI that
addresses that same use-cases.

I’ll echo Bruno’s question. What is a
“Window Working Set”? I really have no idea how it’s different than
regular Working Sets.
Frankly, I just use Working Sets to
add some hierarchy to the projects I have open in my workspace (I
have over 400 at the moment) and really only use it in the
Project/Package Explorer and to scope Searches. They’re not very
easy to set up though if that’s all you wanted.

First entry in working set
configuration window [1]. In JDT schoold views (JSDT, DLTK, ...)
there is always shortcut on view menu (before standard working
sets).
I personally use it together with
mylyn:
1. Select Window Working Set in
Resource and Type selection dialog + in any exlporer
2. From Task List, create Mylyn
Working set with some projects
3. Activate mylyn working in Task
List.
As the result, all views with
“Window Working Set” activated will be simply
filtered.

Wait, what's a "Window" Working
Set?

I agree regarding Window Working Sets - I never use them. But in
all my workspaces I use working sets, to e.g. easily switch to or
search in documentation, which is a working set in my
workspaces.

3. Working sets, one of most powerfull thing in eclipse isn’t
widely supported across projects, examples:
3.1. “Window Working Set” entry sometimes isn’t available in fast
view menu (Platform views), sometimes is (JDT school based
views)
3.2. Working sets types not always available between views, for
example still is not possible to import existing project into mylyn
working set directly
The user story that Working Sets aims to address, isn't it better
served with different workspaces and/or nested projects?
