In your initial post you did not mention that you wanted "to alternate
back and fourth". 'quit-window' gets you out of nested invocations of
'display-buffer', so it's indeed not suitable.

'switch-to-prev-buffer' and 'switch-to-next-buffer' are the canonical
commands for navigating a specific window's buffer list (here these
are bound to <M-left> and <M-right> because I don't care for word-like
movement).
So if we want to convince people that C-x b is at least as convenient
for this purpose - and we have to do that when we add such an option,
mention it in NEWS, add manual entries for it and ask people to notice
all that - you should tell why the above commands are so inconvenient
for navigating the buffer list.

This could be an argument. Then we probably should find a few users
here (I never use C-x b because I find that prompt far too annoying)
supporting it.
