I think that a way of managing the windows on the active workspace that
spares us switching to activies overview unless we want to start a new
activity or switch workspaces would help us with the perceived
'disruptiveness' of switching to the activities overview.

My ideal would be to have downscaled representations of the non-active
windows beside my active window all the time (except when having to
windows opened side-by-side). That would make switching between windows
really a breeze.
