no longer donation-ware, its now shareware costing €9.95
Interesting, but slow: takes about 1 second to switch from one window to the other. On the other hand, Liteswitch switches instantaneously.
I like this as a companion to LiteSwitch X. I have LSX on Cmd-Tab and Witch on Cmd-\.
Doesn't work with X11 windows -- they're just ignored. Too bad, cause I'd like to use it...
A workaround for the fact that per-window management kind of sucks in OSX. Having to select the application and then click the menu bar or rely on dock icons to access windows is not fun.
Expose's window management is passable but I'm not a huge fan. The desktop sweep thing is nice, but when I have a lot of windows open it's easier to drill down the one I want using Witch than it is to hunt-and-peck in expose's all-windows view.
Essential for people switching from windows to OS X who are used to Alt-TAB.
Outstanding replacement for the built-in Command-TAB app switcher. Lots of features, but for me the best one is the simplest: it shows not just the apps but each app's open windows. For example, not just Word, but a list of all the Word documents you are currently working on, so you can pop the one you want to the front.
