You also don't get it and answer to the problem very, very partially.
The need is more global, what about other applications ?

Your replies seem to confirm that you don't understand or care about some use cases.
Again, Gnome plays nice if you use Gmail, supported cloud services and most of your apps are web-based, so 
that most of the time you have only a browser and maybe a terminal open.

But I and MANY other user do use more applications than that.

I gave several applications other than an e-mail client as examples. What will you do for them ?
