The most annoying of these is that I have to press Tab way too many times to get to the app I want, since Command-Tab cycles through apps one at a time. That's why I use third-party alternatives to launch and switch to my favorite apps. My favorite is Dory ($10), which is fast, has a beautiful interface, and makes it really quick and easy to open the apps I use.
How Dory works
Credit: Pranay ParabDory's app switcher can be configured to have one of three layouts—a list, a palette, and a fan. The first one (list) is the simplest of the three. It shows all open apps in a horizontal list and you can click the one you want to launch. The palette layout shows your open apps in a unique layout that looks like a bunch of swatch cards. The fan layout uses a circular menu to list all your open apps. I love the uniqueness of the palette layout (you can see it in this article's header image), but I went with the fan layout because it hits the sweet spot between practicality and looks for me.

It's quite pretty, but if you don't want to sit through it every time you go to switch apps, you can also adjust the animation speed to make the switcher snappier. And if the app switcher is too small for you, all three layouts let you adjust its size. Both of these options are available under Dory's General Settings page, which opens up automatically when you launch the app.
Configuring dedicated keys to launch certain apps

While asking for confirmation adds an extra step, it also prevents accidental app launches, so I can see why the developer designed Dory this way. Unfortunately, there is no way to get rid of the confirmation step right now.
You also have the option to hide certain apps from Dory's app switcher, maybe ones that you always have open in the background but rarely need to navigate to. In Dory's advanced settings, choose the app you want to hide and press the eye icon next to it to toggle it between making the app hidden and visible.
