The current implementation looks to me very very similar to Windows Task View
implementation:

This is what prompted my comment.

In my opinion, the previous implementation in Plasma 5 was much more efficient,
clearer, simpler to use and so on. To move from a virtual desktop to another
you just needed to click on that specific virtual desktop. Even more
convenient, if you clicked on the 'mini' version of a window inside virtual
desktop you the animation would immediately take you to that desktop and select
(bring to the front) the selected window/app. Now you need to click on the
desired virtual desktop and that brings up that selected desktop but still in
'Overview' mode. To actually be redirected to that desktop and start working
you need another click. Why? this is just an unnecessary extra step. Then
again, maybe you, or others have different opinions, but this is mine.
