And don't forget, unlike the...

And don’t forget, unlike the built-in app switcher, LiteSwitch sorts the icons of the displayed apps by the order they’ve been used, with the most recent apps sorted to the left.

So, if you’re switching back and forth between two apps, it only takes two presses of the tab key with the command key down to switch between them. Whereas the built-in app switcher can take up to n+1 tab-key presses, where n is the number of applications running.
