The designers have thought about it. I don't necessarily agree with
them, but if you didn't realise how it works before, then it's Alt+Tab
to switch between applications, and Alt+` (the button above the tab) to
switch between windows of an application.

The two controls can be combined by holding down Alt, so you can switch
to a specific window of another application in one step by utilising
both buttons.

I find myself using the wrong shortcut too frequently, but navigation is
possible.
