You can still minimize apps - right-click on the title bar, and click 
"minimize". (Or use the tweak tool to re-enable the buttons.)

However, I use the mouse-swoosh to switch between active windows. It is 
quite workable, for me, and after a while it seems quite natural. I 
don't find that it takes any more effort than gnome2-style minimizing 
and panel-clicking - less, actually.

But, use whatever works for you!
