I think it's currently a bit confusing that 
A. There is no minimize button
B. Clicking on the app in Plank minimizes
C. There is no indication that the app is running but minimized
So I think there should be no one-click way to minimize for the user. If a user is desperately missing that function, there should be an toggle in Dconf. But I don't think that minimize fits into the elementary operational mindset. If an app like a music app wants to minimize, that's fine.

On a related point, I think that a few different points about Luna are going to be seen as something totally new for some users, and might need some hand-holding and direction for the new user.
A. No minimize
B. No difference between running and non-running apps
C. Fairly heavy use of multiple desktops, etc.
Maybe a slideshow during install?

What do you guys think of this:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/gala/+spec/option-to-disable-minimize

I can't see the point of that personally. Could you provide an example use case in which disabling minimize on the WM side is better than leaving things as they are?

In my vision minimize is still there but not exposed to the user; e.g. music player should minimize instead of closing if its window is closed while it's playing music.
