For me the principal design strangeness is that the Dock shows you at a
glance the apps you are running but not necessarily multiple windows/
docs that you might have open. You have to dig deeper for that
If the same arrangement was in your car, in looking at your car's
dashboard, you would open a door to see the instruments and another door
to see what the speed is, and another for the tachometer etc.

I'm very happy using Exposé gestures to view all windows or
application windows or desktop, and Command h or alt command h to
clear up clutter. And just clicking on an app in the dock to bring it
forward is easy enough.
But I admit I no longer know or have a need to know any such tricks
for Windows. I tinker with Windows machines, but not enough to know
tricks.

I can't help but say that the worst thing about Macs/OSX is the Dock.
Great operating system otherwise but whenever I am using OS X and
multi-tasking between programs, web pages, files etc, I am spending a
LOT of time struggling with the various windows... trying to find
one I had open before, trying to get others I have, open out of the
way etc.
I know the various techniques & shortcuts that OSX gives you to deal
with these issues but they are clumsy and laborious compared to
Windows Taskbar where all can be seen at a glance and accessed with
one click or keystroke.
