I also won't argue tabs or no-tabs at present (though the initial
designs did have tabs, there were some concerns about them as well).
I'd second Tomeu's comment; the new Frame design as well as the new
alt-tab behavior are *much* better than before.  Also, in addition to
the standard alt-tab, I want to add alt-backtick as well to cycle only
through all instances of the current activity. (ticket #7335) This is
specifically to facilitate this use case, would make switching much
more direct.
