My workflow is similar to yours. Maybe I don't have so many windows open, but I use separate workspaces for programming and non-programming related tasks. I use Alt+Tab to switch between them. By default Alt+Tab displays all applications from all workspaces. If you have many apps on many workspaces, it interferes with your current activity on current workspace, so I made small extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/310/alt-tab-workspace/ It displays only apps and windows from active workspace, so if I have 3 apps on my programming workspace, I can quickly Alt+Tab through them. Maybe it's not sane default for gnome-shell, but you may find it useful, if separate your tasks on different workspaces. > I really think Gnome 3 can be great and more people can find it useful. > It's just a matter of knowing how to use it efficiently.

There are chances that people faced similar problems with their workflow and solved them with extensions.
