All the apps I use the most are open most of the time. I can just use cmd+tab to switch between them quickly.

To each their own, but this feels unnecessary to me in my own personal workflow. I've never thought to myself "boy I wish I could open one specific app, that wasn't already open, with a single keystroke"
