Generally true, but I work on a system that has to comply with government regulations that basically say "this is the most important thing the user can possibly be doing. PERIOD."

So alerts are pretty much a must for us, and the obnoxious interruptions help us make the regulators happy. Getting a nicer alert like this will make our customers a bit happier while still keeping us in compliance.

But our use case is of course not standard. Usually alerts are like Satan.
