Point-and-click allows me to lock onto the window I want to use. If I want to use a menu, I can move the mouse, pull the menu, and not have to worry about repositioning the mouse back to my window. My pointer stays where I use it the most (for some applications) at the menu area, and I can type without having an annonying pointer somewhere over my text/graphic area. I don't think this method is a limitation reflecting the single-tasking OS of the Mac. You still have to move the cursor to the window in either method, and an additional click doesn't bother me. If this really is a religious issue, then the best method would be to have both available and to let the user decide.
