Recently I've done task in which I needed to refer to several
spreadsheets and other documents. In Unity, changing between the
open documents was quite difficult, I had to think to much to
find a window and my focus was constantly shifting from the main
task.
The Launcher is quite agnostic to multiple window
applications, so Unity relies to much on the window manager for
this. I found it quite inferior to the more traditional task bar
for this type of workflow. I've ended up running another task
bar(tint2) to get my work done.
When I hover an icon in the Launcher it just shows
a tooltip with the application name. I think it would be better
if on hover it also listed the window's titles, clicking on an
item would bring up only the referred window. This wouldn't
affect most of the current behavior.
I know Unity is aiming for simplicity, and is being inspired
by newer OSes like android and iOS. But the work that people
need to accomplish on the desktop is far more complex than what
one does on a mobile.
regards,
Talvik

Great idea maybe a window preview like in windows 7 would be better,
but the title has to be included as well!
