Apple is leaving overlapping windows too.. overlapping windows are a pain in the butt, unless you really don't have enough space. It'd probably be a better thing to have windows scaled down when you need the space.
Windows also shouldn't be too big. Compare it to a sheet of paper which suddenly is way too big. Too much empty space. This is also why in I usually have the filetree / navigator bar open in any IDE.. you need some margin from the edge of the screen.
- Tagbert 4y agoThere is no one window arrangement strategy that works for you in all circumstances or for all people. Tiling can be useful in some use cases but there are times when overlapping or free-form or full-screen are more useful. I would not want a window manager that forced me into just overlapping or just tiling. That would be a failure. A good tool would give you a way to arrange in one style but to switch to another as needed. I don’t see that Apple is leaving overlapping windows. They have introduced Stage Manager as one more window management system added to the others in their OS. It is not clear if people will take to it but it seems unlikely that everyone will or that it will become the only method. I do wish that Apple would strengthen their basic window management tools. The options on the green button are too limited.
