Yes. I do need one. I'm well aware of alt-tab. But it's sequential access, 
not random access. Slow; requiring an arthritic double-finger click and 
multiple times no less. It's positively no substitute for a single direct 
click on the very application you wanted.

A taskbar is the most uncluttered means yet to allow one-click random access 
to your running apps. Clutter is when the app you want is hidden behind 12 
others and you can't get to it by any direct means.
