> As long as you haven't made the active window full screen, or the window you want to switch to, then yes, it works. But it is painful :P

What's being described as "full screen" windows on macOS is not exactly that, and it's very different than full screen windows on Windows or the standard Linux window managers.

On macOS, when we click on the little green button on top of a window, that window becomes full screen *and* becomes a new single-window workspace.

You can "Maximize" the app (to put it in Windows parlance) by Option+Click the green button (you can observe during the hover state for the green button the change from "full screen" to "maximize" by pressing Option).

Or even just double-click the window‘s title bar. Just like on Windows
