    I've been searching for a sloppy-mouse-focus implementation for OSX for _years_. Pretty sure there's something fundamentally incompatible in how app windows are managed.

    I'm glad to see someone tackling the problem head-on instead of just coming up with workarounds.

    Thanks for your honesty there. Why do you do it, just the money? A cause you actually believe in?
