    Also it’s now going for a tablet-like single app interface (where you have only one window on the screen at the time) which I find idiotic given the huge screens we now have, and the way Unix (and Linux) GUIs in general are wonderfully designed to deal with numerous windows

    I mean that’s not exactly true considering there’s some built in tiling.

      Ah, well as you can see, I’m not using it much. But then, imposing one usage mode (tiling) to have several windows is a typical gnome move.

        But that’s just not true, you can have as many windows as you want in a workspace. And out of the box you can configure the alt-tab to show you only windows in your workspace or windows for all workspaces.

            No, I think you’re missing the point. I’m telling you that even alt-tab is already, ootb, working the way you think it should work in Gnome. You’re assumption about how gnome works is just plain wrong.
