And I tried that, just to see, and decided that Apple would need to make
some significant user interface changes to make that style workable. Or
someone would need to do some pretty amazing hacks. Maybe Codetek has done
that by now, but FFM plus raise-on-focus plus a detached menu bar and panels
that disappear when you lose focus... no... I don't think so.

X11 and Terminal are kind of special cases, and having point-to-focus just
for them is kind of OK, but I still found it disconcerting to have some
apps tracking the mouse and some not.

There's stuff above here
