The problem with trying to have click-through some of the time is that then the user is always unsure exactly what items will activate immediately or not. There are certain things that can be done to indicate what will cause an action (like enabling/disabling widgets or mouse rollovers), but it's not foolproof.

The problem with having everything use click through is then you can accidentally cause actions that are not desired (and sometimes the visible part of the window is filled with widgets that perform actions). A simple and evil example is clickthrough into a large text view, which destroys the current cursor position and selection.

For now, we've taken the position that it's better to be consistent and not allow clickthrough in Xcode than trying to allow selective clickthrough.

Excellent choice -- thanks! :)
