I agree the current ALT+TAB behavior is is totally counterintuitive and
a usability regression.

Quoting Gnurfos from ubuntuforums, "Users don't assign windows randomly to 
workspaces, they rather dedicate workspaces to their 'meta-tasks'. And then 
they have 2 use cases:
- switch between meta-tasks, in which case they switch workspace
- stay on the same task but switch windows (inside this task)"

I don't see any other reason why users should put applications on
different workspaces if not to be able to fast switch among applications
of a meta-task and put the other applications aside so that they don't
interfere with the current work.

For these reasons I believe Alt-TAB, by default, should only switch
between applications of the current Workspace. I hope this fix will be
backported.
