I find it advantageous having a list of currently open apps/docs, not just because it makes switching between apps easier but it also helps me keep track in my head of what I've got going on in the current workspace, and thus what I'm in the middle of doing.  Good for productivity, that.

I think the main complains are the lack of that, and the added complexity and time to launch an app using only the mouse.

So the complaint is basically that there is no taskbar or window list?
That you have to enter the overview to switch windows.

Could this be solved with a seperate drop down window list? Or do you
really just want an always on-screen window list (i.e. a "task bar" or
dock like area).
