I find the Windows Alt-Tab list very useful for a quick look at
what's running.  For instance, I want to see if Emacs is already
running somewhere so I don't have to start a new one.

The Ion navigation right now is 100% positional, you move between
windows based on their position (in frames, workspaces, etc.).
Alt-Tab lets you navigate globally by window name.  I'm sure that is
useful to others beside me.
