When I make a new instance of a window, I don't find that I am 'thrown' into an expose-like view. The window comes up as it would in any case. If I click on the dash icon for a program which already has multiple windows, I actually find it helpful to be presented with a choice between them, which is what this does.
Use alt-` to switch between windows of the same program, without using that feature. With this minor adjustment from the Windows routine it is more pleasant.
I agree it is a little cryptic, and overly concerned with space saving, only to show menu bars on hover and otherwise to show the window title. But, I think it is not an actual problem after a few seconds seeing how it works.
On the other hand: I still have problems with dash coming up very slowly, and with windows nondeterministically moving to the wrong monitor, and with power usage on laptops. It isn't as though it's perfect. But I think the design is basically OK and Ubuntu is having more trouble on the technical end of things, with endless technical papercuts that never get addressed but always get their issues closed.
