You complain about power user tools, then list a bunch of Xorg tools. Xorg is dying; move to Wayland. I use Sway, but if you want something that's closer to a macOS power user experience, you should probably go with KDE[0].
Tearing? Fundamental Xorg problem. Fixed in Wayland. Wayland has some rough edges, but the reality of the ecosystem is Xorg is dead and not coming back, and it's better to be a little ahead of the curve than behind it and complaining about things that are resolved on the other side.

That's why I doubt the author had a full Wayland setup running. Maybe the app ran via Xwayland or there was no Wayland at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_(display_server_protocol)#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_(display_server_protoc...
