If a buffer is open in multiple windows and one of these windows is
momentarily switched off of to look at something else, it is unintuitive
for buffer switching to default to a non-visible buffer instead of the
previously open buffer.  More often than not, a quick [C-x b RET] is,
and should be, sufficient for switching buffers.  Forcing the user to
actively choose the buffer they want introduces unnecessary burden which
can be a significant source of distraction over time.
