Searching for a website in Google while running 27 applications with roughly 80 open windows:

Method A: Move to dock, find web browser in dock, click on browser, click on new tab (don't want to lose what's there), click on Google shortcut, click in data entry box, type search phrase, hit enter.

Method B: Try to find an open window of the browser on the screen amidst the clutter, click on it, repeat most of (A).

Method C: Click on "G" in menubar, type search phrase, hit enter.

There are, of course, many other ways to do this; I've listed only a few. But I think you get the idea -- it's about ease of operation. To me, (C) is far easier and is worth the (minimal, given OS X's nature) risk of any added difficulties.
