Yes, that's the goal.
And as far as I can see the cheapest solution (to get the best of both worlds*) is implementing a setting option to prevent dialogs on focus loss.
It might be another better more costly solutions though.

A) newcomers
B) veterans
if you reward too much only veterans you'll make Pharo a sub-sub-sub-niche environment (one that assumes you already are addicted to compensate the UI vices of it)
