I've never been a fan of that kind of application. As a user, it ruins the usability of the operating system. Having alert boxes constantly popping up feels empowering at first, and eventually becomes really annoying and distracting. As a developer, it breaks your application's expectations and is the root cause of hard to diagnose bug reports. People don't understand what they do and end up breaking software updates (making applications less secure) or other applications features.
