So the thing is, if you have only one instance of an active window and you click its icon in the Launcher, the effect is useless. Users coming from Windows 7 (or any other version of it for that matter) or Mac OS will expect the application to minimize; instead, it will just float. It is useless and counter-intuitive already.

On the other hand, when there are multiple windows of the same app, the effect is very cool and useful;

and well, i miss my SUPER+W !!!
If Scale aka Expose becomes so central, i would strongly recommend to associate the scale addon features:
 * secondary click to zoom in
 * middle click to close

especially the unread messages from the Messaging Menu shouldn't get acknowledged, before i haven't seen them at full scale.
Seeing the window, scaled down on a Netbook 10" display in Exposé, surely doesn't validate removing a message indicator from the Messaging Menu as "seen".
