   Most of their users won't even notice it; let alone consider it a bug.   
      
   Everyone should get this part:   
      
   What you personally prefer doesn't make a bug when another piece of   
   software doesn't do it that way.   
      
   The Mac has already been app-centric.   
      
   It let's you layer windows from different apps, but when an app has   
   focus, the paradigm of the Mac is that the frontmost app will remain in   
   focus after a window closes.
