Yet what I as a user want is to switch to just the next window in the stack, regardless of application. Ala, the Alt+Tab that Windows had back in Windows 95.

(I usually have multiple browser, terminal, and/or editor windows open, but I'm usually only using one of each at a time. Dragging the entire app to the foreground almost invariably means that some window that I'm not using and don't care about ends up on top of a window from a different app that I do care about. That is, me indicating that I care about a particular window of an app doesn't imply that I care about all of them, but OS X thinks it does.)
