There are major downsides to multiple profiles if you don't need them..
it is a lot of work to update settings in each and every profile
Each profile is huge.. some people have limited space on their laptops (my C drive is only 256gb) .. they are huge because they need to store cache files.
I'm sure there are others
I'll add to that:
You cannot have separate taskbar icons for profiles without pinning them permanently to the taskbar. And even with permanent pinning, you can only achieve a taskbar icon with some workaround hack that most people don't even know. It is an issue if you have more than just a few profiles.
You still cannot sort profiles alphabetically or otherwise in the Profiles dropdown.
If you have multiple profiles running at the same time, you need multiple browser windows open.
Yeah, User Profiles do work... If you have 2-3 profiles they can work just fine. If you need, let's say 10 profiles, it gets more difficult... If you need 15 profiles or more, it can get messy. In many scenarios a separate Profile is an overkill.
Linking Workspaces with Profiles would be a GIGANTIC improvement. As the guys from Arc have done it, it is doable... Though, yeah, I am sure it is not a piece of cake.
