I know this doesn't make you feel any better but for us musicians in the
Mac world, using MIDI manager allows multiple applications to continue
in the background even when menus are pulled down.  When applications are
written taking advantage of MIDI manager and multifinder "friendly"
techniques, at least the simulation of multi-tasking occurs.
An example:

I can record a piece of music in my sequencer (which is in the background)
while sending patches to my synthesizers, with another program all while
switching in and out of my word processor.
