And my own 2 cents...
Very simple. In one window I'm typing commands that create graphics. The graphics are displaying in another window. I don't need to see the entire command window, but I do need to see the entire graphics window. I can make the graphics window a lot larger if I can partially cover the command window, yet still type in the command window.



I use background windows to hold program references and other resources. Using "focus follows mouse", it it easy to clip and add to these references and still stay "focused" on the main task. I can understand why apple would want to follow the aqua conventions. But I wish we had the choice. I would like to use my apple the same way I use my sun and sgi workstations.


By the way... raise on focus is horrible.
