There is no case where _you_ want this, sure.
I'd say... only take focus if its a child/creation of the window
currently in focus.
Some people also do things like set EDITOR=gvim and set their mail
client to run $EDITOR when composing a message.
There are cases where many people do expect and even desire for pop-ups
to take focus, and they're not necessarily even crazy.

Space, is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely
mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the
road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space.
