The alt-tab argument is a strong reminder for me that as good as tabbed browsing is compared to the old IE6 hell, tabs are an absolutely shit paradigm for window management, better than the windows task bar when you have 100 tabs open, but it is about time someone sat down and did real and serious UI research on how to deal with having 100s of windows open at the same time, because my solution of having 32 virtual desktops can't be it.

Press alt twice and type in the title for a partial match of the window title. That is all I ask for.
are you using Windows 10? I'm wondering if the virtual desktops feature was going to make my life easier managing tons of windows. Your comment doesn't sound very encouraging.
Nah, fluxbox with custom control scripts.
