I don't know why people hate it, I love it. It gives me so much more visual space.
For example, with Unity I was able to start using Virtualbox VM's maximized instead of full screen, which is so much more comfortable. The host has the sidebar hidden (shows on hover), and the guest has it always visible (as hover wouldn't work for a guest). It really makes a great use of the visual space.
- jarek 14y agoThe alt-tab behaviour is borderline unworkable for anyone who's used Windows or Linux windows managers before 2011 and is trying to work with a case like several terminal windows and a browser window. My GNOME 2/XFCE/MATE setup has one bar on top of the screen and that's it, I'm finding it is pretty good for screen space even on widescreen laptops.
- eitland 14y agoThe alt-tab thing I think they copied directly from Apple (not necessarily a good thing). The thing that really hurts about the new alt-tab is that it breaks my mental stack. On Windows, in KDE etc I can switch back and forth between two browser windows easily. On Mac and Unity you either have to decide of your last app change was an app change or a instance change.
- drivebyacct2 14y agoI love the altered behavior. I want to switch to a different app -> Alt+Tab I want my other Chrome window -> Alt+` When I'm on my desktop, I switch between far too many windows to have a mental stack in my head of MRU applications, let alone windows. Not arguing one is better than the other, but I thought I'd offer my perspective as a user.
- jarek 14y agoAnd if you want to switch from a different app into the other Chrome window?
- drivebyacct2 14y ago"I want to switch apps" = "Alt+Tab" ? Even better with the previews because I can hit "Alt+Tab", see that Chrome is selected, keep Alt held down and then "Alt+`" to the right window.
