I still find it much better than windows, but I must admit that I use a
patch to the Workbench that makes me able to raise and lower windows by
clicking on them anywhere.

Useless ? I don't think so.
The left button is used to handle focus, while the right button is used
to raise and lower windows. These are two separate functions and each
of them deserves its own button. Also, the left button is also used to
move and resize the window if you hold it, and I can imagine the right
button could be used to slide the window on the Z axis, moving it
anywhere you want.
I actually toggle the z-order of windows quite much (to get them out of
the way), and this doesn't mean I want to focus them.
