I wonder if you all remember, that before this "alt-tab", Weston got "expos?", and a long long time before that it got "super-tab" (super is the default "alt" key of Weston). In essence, this is a third different way of picking a new window to focus.

I can't image how thousand of end users can work on their "Weston desktop system" without Alt+Tab... oh, wait, maybe is just a compositor implementation of the Wayland's protocol, written for development, where Alt+Tab is a so critical feature that can wait the next release cycle without nobody care less.

I was reading the article and got the impression that you can't alt+tab out of full screen applications with Wayland. Which sounds ridiculous, because alt+tabbing is such an important thing that people must be able to do. It's taken for granted.

Why are you saying such a thing about Weston?
Window switching by keyboard shortcut has been present in Weston since February 2011:
It was super+tab, not alt+tab, is that your point? Or did it not work with fullscreen apps?
In November 2013 Weston got exposay:
which is another way to switch between windows, initiated by keyboard, used by pointer.
If these things have bugs with fullscreen apps, please report those bugs.
