I agree, I think switching windows in Unity is cumbersome and frustrating. Windows 7 actually gets this right IMO, if you hover the application icon you are shown a list of that application's windows. You can select the window you want in a single click, it's extremely fast and easy to use. DockbarX also implements this for GNOME and also gives the option of window previews instead of a list. I urge anyone who hasn't tried DockbarX to give it a spin under GNOME 2.x I think it would be a huge improvement to Unity if this kind of window switching was implemented.
