Lots of annoying, crappy applications make the entire platform look bad.

In general, we prefer to use data-driven approaches, where you
tell us in advance what you want to do when a space switch
happens ("move this window to the active space", for example),
and we take care of doing it for you. That allows us to keep the
space switch animation fast and fluid, and also allows us to
change the space switch behavior in future releases while still
keeping compatibility with what your app requested.
Okay, so that explains why there is no notification. Now can you
explain why there is no API to actually switch spaces?
Probably a case of applications switching spaces for users would
get incredibly annoying when they started doing things the user
didn't want to happen.

Ah - but isn't that entirely for the consumer of said application to
decide? 'Annoying' is subjective, and I'd imagine that normal
market forces (read: annoyed users) would pretty quickly bring
enough pressure to bear (i.e. not buy software) from a developer
that did unintuitive things with spaces. I for one have customers
asking me to perform switches in Spaces, and cant provide them this
feature at present.
