I rarely have more than 3 chrome windows open at a time...perhaps a pages document...for me mission control is overkill and because it stacks the windows it seems worse than the current expose. Can someone who has lion running now tell me if expose still exists as an optional hotkey or if mission control drinks its entire milkshake?
Got a tip for us?

Is Expose No More...?

So, there's absolutely NO way to invoke "windows" Expose? If you have two Safari windows open, and nothing else, will the windows always be stacked into a single Safari app bundle? Is there any way to have it immediately display all windows, as it used to do in Leopard?
I'd like to know this as well, i use expose within a single app a LOT, particularly in photoshop when im working on a project with different elements.
Im using Lion DP4 and i can't find any way to enable this like it is in Snow Leopard. Huge disappointment. Mission Control is a step backwards.
I don't see anywhere to enable this.
Can't display all application windows like you can in snow leopard.
Can you still press and hold on the application icon on the dock to show the windows just for that application?
Thats the prob then i don't have a track pad. Mouse users are forgotten by the looks of it.
Not being able to display all application windows is really frustrating.
No.
You should be able to hold click on a dock icon, Safari, etc. and get an Expose of all the current windows for that app, just like in SL, whether they are minimized or not.
On another note, Apple may try to boost Trackpad sales even more in 10.8 with double trackpad 8 finger gestures.

In Mission Control you can see all your application windows.. I don't see your problem to be honest....

No, you can't.
This mission control is a big set backwards for me.
I have 12 windows minimised into application icon there is no way to show them like you could with expose in SL.

Right click on the icon in the dock and select show all windows or press F10 (may need fn-f10 depending on your keyboard settings). Minimized windows are shown smaller than non minimized ones in this view

ALl Application Windows no longer exists.

The show all windows command just shows them smaller, but still shows them all exposé style.

It can't be done like in SL.
In SL you minimise Mail, iTunes, Calendar, Address Book and 4 Safari windows then select All Application Windows and all them windows would show on the screen. This is no longer possible.
This made working with many windows open very easy having the function assigned to the middle mouse click. Now having to right click and select show all windows and only for individual apps is extremely frustrating.

Mission control does show the same information (+ spaces) as All Application Windows does in SL, but in a different format where windows from the same application are grouped together. I personally never really used the All Application Windows function but can see that it could be frustrating getting used to a new way of working. You can assign a shortcut to All Windows so you could use your middle mouse button to view all windows for an app, which isn't quite as flexible as showing all application windows but better than right clicking on the dock, I guess
I guess I'm confused with what you are looking to do. What you described is Exposé in SL. In Lion it is mission control now, but you still can get an overview of your current app windows by right clicking the dock icon and using Show All Windows. If you want to see every window of every app use mission control.
If I'm misunderstanding your point, please explain.
