It's not a tiling WM, but augments the standard OS X window management keyboard shortcuts with grid stuff, and doesn't have any odd side effects with GUI apps.
Personally I think OS X and its app population comfortably swing the overall usability balance vs desktop Linux so I won't follow your footsteps :-)
- keithhanson 16y agoI've seen and tried sizeup before I made the switch, and though I feel that it's a great application and a great step towards a middle ground for tiling, it is most definitely not the same thing. Being able to have windows automatically be positioned is key to the tiling wm, I feel. It allows you to have a layout work as you'd expect without fumbling or thinking about it. I do agree about the inaccessibility of desktop Linux (though it seems to be getting so much better these days!). A previous co-worker of mine uses AwesomeWM every day inside of a VMWare instance with Mac hotkeys disabled and loves doing that. Might want to give that a shot if you like what SizeUp gives you.
