Your advice on hiding and switching applies to applications rather than windows. Consider this: you have four terminal windows open. You want to get toggle between two of them. Mac only has rotate (CMD+`), not toggle. There's no equivalent of the alt+tab combination in win32+gnome.

There are some utilities that answer this need, though - Witch, for example, or Switche.
