Are we simply at the mercy of their whims? 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.
