With gnome-shell you have favourites. 2 steps:

 - Windows key/activities/...
 - Click on favourite application (i.e. one which is marked as
favourite)

I'd argue that the window handling on GS is broken (close vs. hide and
open vs. choose opened window) but overview mode is actually quite nice
and simple. If you know app name you have alt+f2 and it would be great
if it was improved (as there is a regression) but I would fill it under
polishing.
