That Wikipedia article is long. Is your complaint that most computers
have one Super key and it's on the left side of the keyboard, which is
also where most of the secondary keys are?

Aside from mnemonics, I think one of the reasons that all of the
commands are on the left side is so they can be used in conjunction with
the mouse. Most users are mouse-dependent so they're faster if they
don't need to take their hand off the mouse. Typing Super-l with one
hand is impossible for most people.


Can you elaborate on "also it seems that there are too many commands for the 
same thing"?


> expose... and choosing one of the windows or desktops via <tab>.
I think one reason tab is not available is because it would interfere with the 
Scale Window Title Filter plugin. With this plugin enabled, when you invoke 
Scale (expose) you can type to isolate windows with titles that match your 
query. Although, I guess few windows would have tab in their title. It may be a 
useful exception. Regardless, you can use the arrow keys instead.


Also, you can configure some of these keyboard shortcuts:

You can use CompizConfig Settings Manager to change Spread (Scale),
Workspace Switcher (Expo), Show desktop/maximize/minimize (General
Options), and others.
