good?

Well, you seem to be an heavy menu user, most users are not (if you use
a web browser, an email client and a text editor most of the common
functions are in the toolbars for example). Quite some users like the
visual improvement and the clutter reduction which goes with hidding the
menus. That said adding an option to not hide the menus was planned for
precise but didn't get worked in time, it's like to happen next cycle
though

>Like this one and also the fact that a large number of applications
don't appear on the Alt-Tab menu even when they are running.

That seems to be bugs rather than any design decision, you should open
bugs when you run into such cases
