I applaud this, I really do.

I'm also worried about HyperSwitch. When I converted to OSX half a decade ago, coming from Windows, this was the one app which I needed to be able to say "I can use this machine".

I can't comprehend how people otherwise can organize their things; it's just not my thing.

Also Tilde-Tab is the killer; Windows really missed out here.

I looking for a replacement for the same reason: the uncertainty of the future of this app.

The author seems to keep it alive, but it has (or had?) timebombs and once a year the author had to release a new patch version due to this.

I tried contact the author to throw money at it, to make sure I can have this as long as I use OSX, but he didn't really respond to that.

However, what can I say, I still prefer HyperSwitch (HS).

- HS is much faster "coming up", this is essential for me. I want to quickly use this. Basically I configured HS to be instant, no delay. I can live with the flashes, actually doesn't really bother me - HS supports CMD-Tab and Tilde-Tab; I need both. And in practice they work amazingly well for me. Tile-Tab is when I strictly need to jump between in-app windows. CMD-Tab can do both, in fact. Jump between apps or within the same apps window.

Also CTRL-Tab hurts to hit combined with TAB.

Anyway, this was on my mind for some time and there was nothing where I could mention it to similar thinking people so I already apologize if this seems inappropriate as a feedback for the hard work you put into it!

thanks
