1) inability to ask the window manager "which workspace/desktop am I on" - it also seems like this ability has been progressively removed with newer versions (judging from stackoverflow/askdifferent questions) - after some hacking I've found a workaround for this

I just swipe up with three fingers on the Trackpad to see what desktop I'm on, are you looking for something different?

Yeah, wanted to be able to programmatically ask the window manager such that I can tell new shells to source "~/.bashrc.d/{desktopname}.sh".
