It is my belief that Alt-Tab is only a meaningful alternative for people who have no more than 2 or 3 windows open. Since I generally have at least 10 or 12 open windows, I'd never even consider cycling through them all.
I think different people are going to find different methods useful, certainly. For me, I find that holding down the Alt key and tapping the tab key a few times is a far quicker way of switching between applications, and in fact I find it much more useful with ten or twenty windows than I would with just a couple -- the little window that comes up gives you the title of each program, which is very helpful. Even with twenty windows an informal test suggests I can get to any one of them in under two seconds. But my experience isn't going to apply to everyone; I'm a very keyboard oriented user, and avoid the mouse if I can possibly do so.
