I think I would prefer a double tap on the home button or a long press for itching thumb to bring up the app 'cards'. I still like the multiple desktops and would prefer this as a default.

Also, the icons on the bottom of the screen have been removed as of beta 4, which is something that I like. I like that the app is specialized.

Still, itching thumbs just increased the value of Android dramatically in my eyes. Its a very, very nice task switcher!

EDIT:
It seems that you can bind itching thumbs to ADW long press of the home button! ADW to the rescue! I'm assuming that it's ADW as CM6 has ADW installed by default.

From the Itching Thumbs forum:

I couldn't get the double click feature working that makes itching thumb pop up. I did, however, bind itching thumb to my long press home button under cm6 settings and this thing is smooth as hell!

It's a shame that it only works in portrait mode though

Lack of a landscape mode is a shame, but it's only a matter of time before this feature is added -- I'm sure.

Itching Thumbs FTW. Terrible name, though.
