I think that is actually the crux of the problem here. Consider:

1. Minimize.
2. Where is my minimized window? (no minimized window stack on screen)
3. Activities overview. (the only choice left, after pondering a while)
4. Where is my minimized window on all my workspaces? (in overview now)
5. Cannot see all workspaces at once. (no grid, no workplace switcher)
6. Look for it through workspaces, sequentially.
7. Find it.
8. Click it. (mode switch, back to normal view)

Seriously, way, way too many steps. Not to mention confusion, inability
to see what's where etc.

The Alt + Tab doesn't really help here. Don't want to flick through
dozens of open apps to get to my minimized window, which I want to be on
the workplace I left it on.
