Windows shade was useful in OS8-9. I can't see it in OSX. Expose would be great if you could apply it to specific open apps. Perhaps a feature Apple will have in future OS releases.

If you're on one application and you alt+click somewhere else (e.g. the desktop), that application will hide and leave the other apps visible. Isn't this what you're looking for?

I liked Window Shade - since it was a third-party control panel. Now I have become accustomed to cmd+H to get stuff out of the way for a mo and cmd+tab to get it back.

Spring-loaded folders were absent from 10.0 and 10.1.
