For me, broken Alt+Tab that switches applications instead of windows is a non-starter. And the top application menu bar.

The rest is OK and I can learn/adapt.

For me its the menu bar on the top of the screen except for libreoffice. On a 1920 by 1080 its a bit of a trek to the top of the screen from a small Gedit window.

The rest I can deal with, I tend toward 'end user' tasks plus a couple of ssh sessions, and about 10 applications over four virtual desktops.

Hibernate works so I can keep the setup between sessions.

Try Alt-' (or whatever key is above Tab on your keyboard). Alt-' switches windows, Alt-Tab switches applications.
