The motives in [1] aren't very relevant.

When having repositories in the workspace, you normally don't create the
repository in the workspace root, but *below* the workspace. It
is possible to do it wrong, but the sharing wizard could alert you.

It is AFAIK clear that this is not an issue. I always have my projects
in my workspace, No problem whatsoever.
>You can easily destroy your Repository by destroying your Eclipse
Workspace
Isn't that obvious? Destroying any directory will destroy its' content.
With the workspace you at least have a notion that a repository is used.
The global folder now gives me a ton of experimental projects not used.
Wit workspace storgage those projects only appear in the workspace where
I use them.
Of course I'm biased, since I'm used to having projects in the workspace.
Import from team projectset is inconsistent with the sharing wizard, so
nowadays unsuspecting users will wind up with some projects in the
workspace and some in the shared git directory.
