If it's down to voting for one or the other, I can't stand applications
that steal the focus or the foreground. Try using internet explorer
while working in word, and see how distracting it is.
I have really become accustomed to indicating with my mouse onto which
window I want in front, and into which window I'd like to type.
Switching back to Windows or other wm's makes me crazy.
I do wish there were separate gestures (besides mouseover). So, I could
left click the title, for foreground and keyboard focus, and right click
for just keyboard focus. Or something.
