-> Eighter you choose "Create new Workspace" and add a new project or you choose "Close all projects" and add a new project after that. Only the first option would be another (redundant) menu entry...  :?

Well, It's just a matter of being intuitive. It doesn't make it very clear that you can use lots of workspaces. It took me a while to figure out a way to create new workspaces because it's just ankward this way. And suppose I have a workspace with some dozens of projects. I have then to do dozens of right clicks and popup menu interactions just to close all of my projects and then save the workspace.
Well, the option is not just a redundant menu entry, is the consolidation of an abstraction concept. It would be nice to have a nice dialog to choose your workspace name and then where to save it, and even some global options to apply to all the underlying projects would be nice (but it would be more difficult to implement than a simple input-name-and-path-dialog) but then why should I choose the name of my workspace if I can change it from the right click menu.
Well, then i start to wonder why use an IDE anyways since we can do everything from asm... seens a bit redundant too...  :?

BTW, I don't see the feature 'Close all projects' anywhere... if it really existed it would be really a lot easier, but still slow and unintuitive...

Sometimes, it helps to look :)

Seeing this I guess I understand, why it might be difficult and hard to find. See: In the project menu (note the singular) most of the options apply to that very single project (which is currently active). Maybe "Close all projects" should just be moved into the file menu?

...mandrav?!

Well, "Close all projects" is just below "Close [one] project", seems like the logical place to me.

What particularly struck me was the wording "if it really existed". This implies that Rick is telling fairy tales?
