I am a sucker for an uncluttered view and use the Apple-H shortcut a lot. But this also hides the windows from Exposé...

I haven't used Witch, but Expose does everything I could ever ask of it.

I didn't know about this one. With command-TAB, you can also use SHIFT+Commmand-TAB to go backward through the icons. Also, you can let up on the TAB (still holding Command) and press Q to quit, or M to minimize, etc. Finally, pressing Command-` (where the tilde ~ is on US keyboards). Bot Interesting tip!

Just use the cursor to point to the app you want to bring to the front.
