What is the difference in user experience between this and Yabai? I don’t think the SIP issues for Yabai is a big one, no one I know who uses Yabai disables SIP, and they seem to enjoy it.
Is the i3 stuff the difference?
Personally I use a utility that allows resizing and moving windows with the mouse from anywhere on the window when holding a modifier combination, like Fluxbox. Not as automatic, but also never flaky - more like making floating much easier with less mouse movement than moving to a totally managed style.
- freeqaz 2y agoI have used both extensively and I prefer AeroSpace. Multi monitor support is the killer for me, but there are other small wins. When you move a workspace in Yabai to a new monitor, it changes it's ID so you can't keep using keyboard shortcuts to access it (alt+2 breaks because it is no longer workspace 2, it becomes 11 or another number). I can move workspaces between monitors easily with alt+m and alt+shift+m. The other feature is that windows snap instantly without any Mission Control animations. That is a big one that really irks me. Those are the two features that I need most days and I find Yabai completely unusable because of the lack of workspace support
- Etheryte 2y agoWith Yabai you need to disable SIP if you want to interact with spaces in any way, change the stacking order of windows, and many other things [0]. If you don't use those features, you do you, but for many users those are core features.
