I guess there are many ways to skin a cat, but I never click on the thing. I just use Super+1-9 to immediately activate my desired app.
This requires you pin your "favorite" apps in the dock, but once you put them there they're always available with those key combos (whether they're running yet or not). Once you internalize the order, you don't even need to open the activities view at all (except for your more seldom used programs).
