With this setting you can activate a window for input without it coming
to the top. Just mouse over. (It's the way I do things and have done
since I first discovered it on KDE. It's far nicer (IMO) than the usual
way.) 
Conversely, it's easy to "mistake" where the cursor is and issue the
wrong commands for the window that really is active.
