I agree with Ben and I understand why he is angry. However, I don't
think that we should start a dispute about who is right and who is
wrong.

I am pretty sure that the Unity devs had their reasons for introducing
this Alt-Tab behavior. I am also sure that there is a good deal of
people who work with only 3 or 4 windows open and find this switching
method very convenient. However, there is another good deal of people
who work with many windows open and find the Unity switching method very
annoying.  So, nobody is wrong and nobody is "cleverer" than the other.

Marco, please don't take it personally that I said in some previous
comment that the design was flawed. The flaw does not lie in the choice
the Unity devs made but in assuming that there is only one suitable
switching method for everybody. As a matter of fact, although we users
are grateful to the Unity and Gnome Shell devs for their efforts, our
grudge is that they assume their perceived way of working to be the only
appropriate one. In conclusion, please allow us, simple users, the
option to configure the Alt-Tab behavior and everybody will be happy.

By the way, as regards the use of CSSM, the Unity swither cannot be
fully disabled. If you uncheck the Unity switcher and enable the "Static
Application Switcher", when you press Alt+`, the Unity switcher still
appears.
