This is because the way enlightenment does it is not great.

Most WMs do it as follows:
hold alt, then each time you hit tab the next window on the list is
brought into focus. when you release alt, the list of windows is re
ordered such that the most recent window to have focus is on top.

E does it this way:
It only thinks of alt+tab as one thing. Each time it gets an alt+tab from
the keybord it switches windows. what sucks is that instead of waiting
'till you release alt, it waits .5 seconds once you've switched to a
window. if you are still focused on that window, the list is re ordered.

This means that if you alt tab quickly, every window (that is not shaded
or iconified) will be focused in order. but if you do alt+tab, then hold
the alt for a second, then press tab again and repete, you will only go
back and fourth between the two most recently focused windows.

I hope this is reasonably correct and clear. This is what I remember of
what raster told me when I asked after it. I think he plans on updating ig
for E0.16
