OK, it groups windows by application -- that's an improvement over Unix window managers. But when you're cycling through different applications, does it remember the recent ones and put them to the top of the stack? Say, you have only three unrelated windows: Netscape, a terminal, and a CD player, which were started in that order, but the CD player is playing by itself in the background and you've only been switching between Netscape and the terminal. Is your first command-tab switch always to one of these two windows -- so that a single "alt-tab" is all you need, as long as you're not touching the CD player? Or does it always go through a fixed "netscape -> terminal -> cd" cycle which you can't change, so you need to do "command-tab" once to go from netscape to the terminal, but twice to go from the terminal back to netscape? I've encountered some window managers on unix which had this behaviour, including enlightenment (but maybe it was configurable or it's changed).
