the unix layer is (mostly) a non-issue now with the windows 10 anniversary update, though that doesn't help for xcode personally i found exposé and spaces to be way ahead of windows a few years ago, but the new task view in windows 10 and multiple desktops have basically caught up, and i think combining them into mission control was actually a bit worse than just using the features separately window management with aero snap and actual, real maximized windows was always better though of course, all this and much much more have been possible on various linux desktop environments for a long time, if one doesn't run any critical windows-only (or mac-only) software
