Switching windows with the overview (3 finger swipe up) is mentally taxing.
Every time you switch windows, the next time you open the overview, the layout of the windows and their locations rotates. This makes switching between windows as part of a common workflow difficult.
Essentially you can't rely on your mental map of where the windows previously were, be cause they always move.
I have reproduced this many times. This is a sharp contrast (with no obvious benefit) to Mac OS X, Windows 10, and Gnome on Linux.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Open 3 or more windows
(2) Open overview (3 finger swipe)
(3) Remember the locations of the windows
(4) If you don't switch, they stay the same
(5) If you switch to a window, and re-open the overview, they all shift positions for no reason.
What is the expected result?
Overview to remember window locations (relative to their desktop position)
What happens instead?
The layout rotates or changes upon each load.
