i started with KDE3, and the default was focus on mouse click, as it used to be under windows. when i tried 'focus follows mouse' it just felt strange. could probably get used to it if i wanted to, like i got used to a tiling window manager (awesome), but right now i don't see the need.
I think KDE defaults to MS Windows behavior. You have to manually enable focus follows mouse and disable click to raise. System administrators of networks of hosts will sometimes open multiple command windows with a ssh session running in each. The windows can then be tiled and offset so that the bottom of each is visible under the window on top. The admin can them easily change focus by just moving the mouse pointer between the tiled/offset windows and be able to enter commands just by typing. Having to click the mouse before typing would totally wreck this convenience, as would the window receiving focus rising to the top. This capability lacking in MS Windows is the single most important factor that proves Windows is a toy operating system not designed for serious work, IMHO. YMMV.
