When someone recommends adding complexity to Revit, it's my natural, yet biased, stance to vote against complexity for efficiency. I don't care or need to do everything and anything, I need to get work done quickly. What I have seen of the ArchiCAD teamwork looks complex to me. Now, I understand that not everyone uses all of it. However, just the fact that it's there will lead some to think they are adding value by using all of it, when they are really just hampering the Project Team with over management.
So while I agree with you that adding Workset user control to Revit would be a good thing (even thought my voice in this matters little, Autodesk will do what it wants) I'd like to see it done as a stripped down version of what we see in ArchiCAD, or even more simple than that.
