The shaded page, no doubt about it.
The shaded page lets me close that window/tab.
The shaded page doesn't clutter my windows task bar.
The shaded page doesn't interfere if I'm busy in some other app or tab
at the time.

What would you rather prefer:

I obviously agree with the downside of having either modal or non-modal
window begin opened from webpages, but there are alternatives, and many
can reduce user experience and anoy developers with extra layers of
libraries and/or APIs.
There's little you can do againast it :p

For that there are popup blockers.
The user must click something for another popup to open.

Unless the page raises another dialog of course, either maliciously or
due to a coding problem. Preventing that from happening would probably
not be easy without some surprises.
Popup blockers are there to try to mitigate an evilness that was added
a long time ago in a more innocent (naive?) time.
Lets not add more such evilness. It only forces ourselves to struggle
to find decent mitigation techniques, and forces developers to try to
deal our mitigation techniques.
