some folk think that's OK, but if you are using a browser it's awful?

I think it comes down to predictability.
The various programs mentioned open new windows in a predictable pattern - one knows when a new window will open. Websites open windows not only unpredictably (ignoring the small status bar message which I note, but I'm sure Jo(e) Public doesn't) but somewhat invisibly - it isn't always obvious if you blink at the wrong moment that a new window opened, it just looks like the back button stopped working...
