Personally I can't stand automatically positioned windows, the algorithm can't know about what particular thing I'm doing well enough to position things effectively. What I wish the OSX window manager did was pointer style focus. Terminal emulates this for you but as soon as you have to use other apps (say multiple safari windows and a GUI editor for writing documentation) you loose this and need a second monitor.
