Alt-Tab, Alt-` work too.  Very fast.  You even get pretty pictures of
the windows so you land on the one you wanted.

Using a task bar at the bottom of the screen required two mouse trips -
so six of one / half-dozen of the other.

If speed is a concern then use the keyboard.  GNOME Shell is *VERY*
keyboard navigable [which really shoots to hell the constant and
incorrect GNOME-Shell-Is-For-Tablets meme  - Yo, idjits!  Tablets do not
have keyboards!]  Keyboard control of the workspace is much more
streamlined then in GNOME2.

I use dash-to-dock, it is nice extension.  The dash for starting
applications just hangs out unless it is in the way [overlapped by
something] then it auto-hides.

3.6 overall has been very stable for me.  Only time it seems to break
down is when I'm running VMware-workstations.  The focus seems to get
bound up so I can't click on anything - but HUP'ing the gnome-shell
brings it back to working without having to exit any applications,
etc...

Always;  stability is a must.
