List-based task switching has been deprecated for ages and is kept for backwards compatibility.

Windows NT (line of OSs) no longer uses alt-tab through lists for quite a while. W7, e.g., has a live grid of thumbnails one can click by mouse/touch.

IIRC, XP and older don't allow mouse selection (in the older versions). But even so, that's 2003, and there are power tools to fix that as well. Last time anyonw was stuck with alt+tab list was W2000.

I have no idea who told them lists are good. Wasn't us
