I honestly didn't find activities all that useful no matter how much I tried to
make sense of it. So getting rid of the activities and focusing on improving
virtual desktop feature or combining those to features into one somehow makes
more sense to me. If this is feasible then, I really hope this change will make
it easier/possible to set different wallpaper per virtual desktop like back
then. Please refer to these links below if you want to get better idea. This
was just beautiful feature that no other desktops environment like Mac, Windows
had (closest one was DE with a help of compiz but not quite as good as our
kde's kwin) :

In my opinion, Plasma 4 was awesome if you didn't use activities because some
people experienced some minor issues which I never had. I would be really happy
if we can somehow bring back wallpaper per virtual desktop feature (even if
that means we have to remove activities). Of course, it would be ideal to keep
them both to be fair with those who still find activities useful. What didn't
make sense the most to me was not being able to have separate account/profile
per activities because without it, it's useless for my use case. What I did
like about activities however was privacy settings since you can hide/suspend
it from current workspace. There are pros & cons but it's a matter of which
side it outweighs the other. I guess it all depends on how you use it.
Another options would be to just keep virtual workspace but have another
feature to create private environment/workspace kind of like hidden folder.
