I don’t understand. I wouldn’t consider snapping a first class feature like closing, maximizing, and minimizing. It’s possible that the addition of snapping would confuse some uninitiated users. They wouldn’t understand why the windows lock toward the side of the screen when they drag. The only beef I have with apples windowing system is you can’t remove the finder from alt-tab. There are apps like witch but it is currently broken with IntelliJ tools. It doesn’t allow switch window focus to auto save. I have written the developers about this. They probably are reading this now. Fix it.

I'm agreeing but it's because I find features like window snapping, auto-reveal desktop, and AERO SHAKE (where all the windows except the one you're shaking get minimized) REALLY FUCKING ANNOYING. Windows 11 maximized the annoying desire to do things for me by bringing up this stupid rectangle at the top of my screen any time I move a window, trying to get me to snap it to a side of the screen... It's like MS hired someone who uses those obnoxious Linux tiling WMs that don't let you do anything except tiling, and that person is trying to force tiling on everyone. Thing is, damnit, I like overlapping windows!

This can be turned off. Go to Settings (Win+I).. click through System then Multitasking. Expand the "Snap windows" dropdown (arrow at right side). The option you want to turn off is "Show snap layouts when I drag a window to the top of my screen". I'm about to turn it off as well. I rarely use it, now that I think of it- and it's too touchy. While you're there, you can turn off the title bar shake (I have that turned off as well).
