If you look at the inheritance tree of the Alert class, you'll see that
an Alert instance *is* a Window instance (the Alert class extends Window).
The Window class entry states that the "best way to instantiate a window is
to call PopUpManager.createPopUp()," so the recommended approach, in fact,
is the method you like.

Alert provides class members in addition to Window, so if you need those
additional members, they describe the advantage. ;)

"Luck is the residue of good design."

Does anyone even use the Alert class to pop alerts when there's the
popUpManager.createPopUp ? If so, is there any advantage of the Alert class?

I'm curious, because it seems that it's so much more limited.

Thanks for confirming my belief :D
