Concerns about new Alt+Tab behavior

[vbuell]

Problem

Personally I prefer the way Alt+Tab worked before. Previous behavior was inline with the concept of simplicity, where instead of creating new distracting popups Elementary just was reusing the existing controls on screen. The new switcher IMHO is a step back for elementary as it tries to mimic old ideas and be just like others. Not saying that others are bad, but the elementary's solution was elegant and eye catchy, and that's the reason it found its great nieche for people who likes simplicity.

Proposal

We already have the tasks widget on bottom; if some people prefer to see it in a center of screen, we could dynamically scale it up and slide it to a center while Alt key is pressed. And put it back to the bottom when Alt is released. It's very similar to the new switcher (clasical popup) but less intrusive to existing users and it combines both worlds.

I can't be 100% sure that this proposal will work for all users, but at least it solves some issues from the list above, and doesn't introduce new components. Would be glad to hear any feedback. Also please let me know is there a better place to start this discussion (forum thread, etc) rather than opening a feature request.
