clicking in dock is way easier than doing cmd-tab because cmd tab order keep changing . In dock we can easily discover the app as they don't move around.

I think Cmd-Tab is really bad if you end up using lot of apps. Alfred is way better for such purpose imo.

How do you use Alfred to replace cmd-tab?

You can sort of use Alfred as an app switcher - by entering the name of the app you want to switch to. The first letter is usually enough (e.g. to switch to Chrome, invoke Alfred, hit C, hit Enter). If you have to cmd-tab through many open apps, using Alfred can be faster.
