If you have any windows that pop up automatically, like calander reminders, error windows, etcetera, this can be a *very* undesirable feature. For myself, being stuck with using NT on a daily basis, such windows (like crashing applications :) pop up and steal the focus quite often. The problem is that if this happens *as* I'm typing or clicking a mouse button, the new window gets the event and just might disappear before I get a chance to read it! "Hmmm, I hope that wasn't too important..." Who knows what I just denied or agreed to! Other times, applications might be launched and I suddenly find myself in the middle of another program with no idea how I got there. At best, the machine just beeps at me several times. What I wouldn't give to have genuine sloppy focus in every GUI. (BTW, setting the ActiveWindowTracking resource in NT doesn't prevent this problem - you have to move the mouse to get the focus *back* to the window you were in once the transient appears.)
