I like many things about Gnome Shell, but am I correct in understanding that the primary means of switching between applications is going to be via Alt-Tab?

I wonder if we can expect regular users to get accustomed to switching between applications via a key combination. To me, this is a fairly advanced user action. I think most users would want a way to just click on the minimized application that they want to use again.

Am I missing something? Should these regular users throw their mouse pointer to the "hot corner?"

Hot corner, or the "super" (Windows) key will bring up the shell interface with the window selector.
