I used to be a big fan but I don't use it anymore. Now if I'm using the keyboard I just alt+tab to change windows. If I'm using the mouse, hot top left corner and I see the activities view which shows all the windows opened, the dock and the different workspaces. To me it's just faster this way. Same thing on my mac. The dock is there but I almost never use it, so to me the top bar with the date and app indicator is enough.

Yep, this is my experience. From force of habit, I thought I could not function without seeing my list of open applications somewhere on the screen at all times. I decided to try the vanilla Gnome experience for a few weeks without any panel extensions like this to see what I was missing. I quickly found that switching apps via the hot-corner (or the three-finger swipe-up when using a trackpad) was intuitive and convenient. I also appreciated the extra screen real estate that comes from not having the app list displayed all the time...
