I presume you mean "novices & experts who aren't used to it." As someone who is very used to (and likes) focus-follows-mouse, I find click-focus quite irritating, as it requires much more thought to change focus when your hand is not on the mouse (with ffm, I can just backhand the mouse into the new window, without ever really grabbing it). I agree that keyboard control of mouse focus is nice, but as an ADDITION to the mouse control; with lots of windows, it could get pretty time-consuming... -Miles
