I have 14 windows open, currently. That's not hugely unreasonable to display in a window switcher … not to mention that every other OS manages it? I've had more, but I mean, how many more are we even talking?

(And if you have a huge number more open, well, how does exposé function?)

And the window switcher on other OSes usually orders the choices by Z-order, which is essentially in recently-used order. The window you want is often only one or two hits away.

(And, if not, the one in MATE in Linux is also navigable by arrow keys or by mouse, so nothing's too far away.)
