I agree with you 100 %, but for some reason Alt-Tab does nothing in my version 
of unity.

Original message
Third, it would be helpful if application focus switching via Alt-Tab were
application-centric not window-centric.  What I mean by that is that if I have
two Emacs windows open, or two mail windows open, Alt-Tab should cycle among
applications and not individual windows.  Choosing the application would bring
all of its windows forward, with the stacking order remembered from the
previous time the application was focused.  Then Alt-` toggles between the
application windows.

I'm sure there will be lots of opinion and debate about stuff like this, but I
actually think that OS X gets it just about right, at least for a "normal"
desktop where real-estate is less constrained.
