One thing I've personally used that feature for was when application
windows ended up with their title bar outside of the screen and I had no
idea of how to move them back except using the switcher for this.
People have afterwards explained to me how I could have used Alt+mouse
for that instead, but I didnt know about it at that time and using the
switcher was the most apparent to me, since I already knew it could move
Windows.
