I really don't get all this attention to focus prevention. I personally can't remember the last time I had a window popping up without it being something I want and expect. IMHO It looks like a theorethical attack vector (steal focus right when typing a password), but in practice I've never heard of it happening, not even on windows were focus stealing is fully allowed and expected.

If I had any app stealing focus randomly, the app would be nuked out of existance in no time.

I did experience though focus stealing prevention breaking apps (for example the open folder dialog in vscode not appearing in the front). It also breaks some interruptions that I really really want, like the evolution calendar notification window popping up on top of everything telling me I really should be in a meeting right now (and no, a slowly fading notification on the corner of the second screen I'm not looking at right now won't work)

A big thank you to the authot of grand theft focus for bringing a bit of sanity back.
