I realise you might hate unity, but I just wanted to make clear, some people (me) like it!
I've tried plain gnome 3, latest kde, xmonad and xfce, and out of all of them have decided I like unity the best. The combination of:
* Press win key + type 'th' gets thunderbird selected, win key + 'ch' gets chrome gives me quick access to all my apps.
* I like a dock with fixed icons in fixed positions, so I can open an app, or get open windows, with 'mouse memory'.
I found the other window managers I tried very poor in their default configuration. Maybe I could configure them to act better, or more like I want? But I don't want to spend the time (I did spend a couple of days trying xmonad, before giving up, I really wanted to like it but it seems purposefully designed to be painful to configure)

- keithpeter 13y agodmenu from the suckless tools package can provide some of the 'invoke an application by pressing a meta key and typing its name' functionality you are missing. Not pretty but it works.
