Speaking as a katapult, launchy (win32) whore^W I mean user, if you just 
use it for running a gui program from the keyboard then there is no real 
need for standard window decorations and functionality. But when people 
expand the run dialog to perform other tasks like running complete 
command lines with arguments etc or as a calculator, then you will come 
up against the use cases which require standard window decorations and 
functionality. (e.g. someone composing a long command line with bits cut 
and paste from another window etc)

cheers,
