I use rectangle, but the critical missing feature is the ability to move focus directionally. Why bother tile your windows if you can't have a hotkey that moves focus up, left, down, or right?
Lacking such a hotkey, I now must keep track of them temporally (Cmd + tab + tab + tab to go to the one I used three times ago) which is a really clumsy way to think about something that supposed to be analogous to objects in a 2D space.
This isn't Rectangle's fault, my impression is that the public window management API is just not powerful enough.
Amethyst is the closest thing I've found on MacOS to the alignment of placement & focus management that I'm after (which doesn't require disabling system integrity protection) but I'd much rather think in terms of directions than monads.
So I have to chose between the kind of UI sanity that you find in i3/sway and the kind of battery life that you find on an ARM MacBook, and I blame Intel.
