Huh, how is that 'dumb'? Resize a window and drag it to the top will increase total height of screen. Drag a window to the top and it maximizes. Drag to left to dock to left side. (repeat for right side) Drag to top left to dock to top left corner. (repeat for all corners) Win+Arrow (Up) to full screen. Win+Arrow (Down) to un-full screen. Down again to minimum. Win+Shift+Arrow (left/right) to change screen. Win+Arrow (left/right) to move between docking left/right. On a mac you cannot even maximum a window properly, and works differently in different apps. Window management is terrible on a mac. The only window management it does right is the way it handles the virtual desktops. Cos that still sucks on Windows.

>On a mac you cannot even maximum a window properly Indeed, to actually maximize a window on macOS, you have to purchase a third party app (BetterSnapTool). I think it's hilarious.

      It doesn’t work in every app. It doesn’t even work in a lot of apples own apps... you hold shift and click in 1 app, it works, try it in another app and it only resize vertically and not horizontally.

        I suppose I've never really felt the need to "maximise" a window as opposed to putting it in fullscreen.

  I use Hammerspoon which is a free tool that lets you run custom Lua scripts. Got a lot of keyboard shortcuts for moving windows around.

Magnet on MacOS is totally worth the purchase. Gives the best window snapping I’ve found between Mac, Windows and Linux.
