Cycle through apps using command-tab. Cycle through a few times. See how it works.

Now cycle through app-windows with command-` and see how that works .. completely differently.[1]

So yes, even the wizards can get it wrong[2].

[1] command-tab has a proper "memory" allowing you to command-tab back and forth quickly between the two most recent apps. command-` is just ... weird. It sort of preserves sequence ... until you let go ? and then reverses sequence ... or something ? 8 years into OSX and I still am not sure what the algorithm is.

[2] Not saying either is the right one - but they are both different, so one of them (as far as apple is concerned) is wrong.

Or maybe each of them is appropriate for the (different) tasks it has to do?
