Understanding GNOME Shell’s focus stealing prevention

This may have been a feature with good intention, but DAMN is it badly implemented.

While some people have asked for focus stealing prevention to be disabled completely until it’s implemented by most apps and toolkits, I’m not sure this is the best way forward. If we did that, nobody would notice which apps don’t implement it, so there’d be no reason for toolkits to do so.

Yeah let us frustrate the heck out of the user, that surely will help. When I started an application from dash, I want it to be focused, not just to be "ready".
