The 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.

- 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.
