Changed hidden app switching behaviour

[sammich]

Apple changed the way that hidden apps are brought up again with command-tab. I submitted the bit of text below to Apple feedback so I thought to see if anyone else on here has the same thoughts.

Another page with the same sentiments: http://apple.stackexchange.com/ques...leopard-like-application-hiding-cmd-h-in-lion

Scenario:
You hide an app and then immediately command-tab (and release) to switch applications.

What happens:
Under Snow Leopard: it switches to the most recent app that isn't the one that was just hidden.

Under Lion: it switches to the hidden app.

Solution:
Revert back to Snow Leopard behaviour. Why? Because if I've just hidden an app I don't want to bring it back, I did hide it for a reason. If I want it back I can hit shift-command-tab. This way both hidden app and the logical next app is one key combo away. Also it relies on just muscle memory to get to the next app in line, rather than having to scan the app switcher HUD (or having to command-tab twice).

Scenario:
You're working with two apps, say a browser and a css editor, and you switch back and forth using command-tab. Then you decide to check your email. Once you've finished that, you hide Mail and you return to the editor. You fiddle a bit and out of habit, you use command-tab to switch to your browser...but Mail activates instead.

Spaces and/or full screen apps don't alleviate this problem.

Please change it back.
Thanks.

All I want is to be able to change it back, a little defaults write to like com.apple.Dock or something.

Thoughts?

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one hating this new change...

Making me nuts!

Not sure if this is counted as bumping, but I still haven't gotten used to this new way of app changing. A small part of me rages inside when things are this unintuitive.

Yeah, it was all the small things, such as this one, that made me downgrade to Snow Leopard.
