When I first started using macs, I hated the group-by-application idea too, but I've come to prefer it. Combined with application-specific expose, I find it scales so much better for when I have over 10 windows open on a non-huge screen - which I do most of the time. When I go back to a WM with a list of lots of windows open, I find myself hunting and pecking amongst all these tiny, almost indistinguishable icons, and it feels like it takes forever.
edit: What I'd quite like is another expose mode which shows, say, the last 6 windows you've worked on. While I often have a lot of stuff i want to keep open, I often have a relatively smaller immediate working set.
- lloeki 16y agoI Cmd+M the ones I want to keep around but don't plan to use right now. They go in a smaller mode below a divide line on Exposé. Also I tell the Dock to "minimize into the application icon". Document window + Application icon + Exposé can really scale up, to the point I rarely ever use Spaces (when I was an avid user of virtual desktops under Linux).
- AlisdairO 15y agoThat seems like a god way of working - I might try modifying my UI-driving in line with that :-)
