This application and another one called rectangle (for managing window location easily) is what makes Mac os life bearable for me.

The computer to me is a tool and thus switching window / focus should be swift and efficient.

KDE lets me do that out of the box, other DEs needs addons it seems..

The problem with original macos cmd-tab / and in-app window switching is that it gives you two levels of switching. For the same reason I'm not a fan of tabs in browsers.

I don't want to keep track of which app a window/page is opened in. I want to get to it as fast as my thoughts realize I need to get there.

Most often I work in 2-3 windows in different apps, so quick jumping back and forth is crucial and alttab is a simple and fast way of doing it.
