I use to use Switcher and I agree that it is very nice, but one of the neat features about 2.0 is that the Left-Amiga N and M keys have changed functionality a bit! Left-Amiga N now ALWAYS brings up your workbench screen and (now) Left-Amiga M allows you to cycle through all of your screens. Before 2.0, Left-Amiga M would just bring you back to the last custom screen that you were on!
Personally, I find the Left-Amiga key sequences much handier than Switcher since my hands very rarely wander off of my keyboard!

p.s. I might have the N and M keys backwards. I have no Amiga present to verify!
