Err we have virtual desktops, tiling, snapping and things you know, out of the box these days. I mean the virtual desktops thing is mostly what I use and it's a triple swipe on my magic trackpad to switch.

Since MacOS sequoia apparently. So 3 months since MacOS users have window management out of the box. Better late than never I guess, but they sure took their sweet time to implement features standard on Windows for 15+ years and 20+ years on Linux.

  Before, we just used Rectangle. It's no biggy.

  Half-screen tiling (Window > Tile Window to Left/Right of Screen, or click and hold the green button), snapping (same but hold Opt), and virtual desktops ("Spaces", later "Mission Control") have been been available for a long time. The former ones maybe not used that much because people don't explore the menus.

  And MacOS had Spaces 6 years before Windows had anything similar and Exposé for 3 years before they came out with a crappy not-as-good equivalent, and the current task view still sucks by comparison. But touch input drivers on both platforms still suck, so I don't really care what their Window management is like when I can't interact with them without a hand cramp.

    I'm not sure why the need to move the goalposts but I'll bite. >And MacOS had Spaces 6 years before Windows had anything similar and Exposé for 3 years before they came out with a crappy not-as-good equivalent, and the current task view still sucks by comparison So what? On Windows and Linux I never needed that feature because they always had proper window management, nor do I use that feature now. You're comparing Apples to Oranges. A Dodge RAM has a tow hitch, a Ferrari doesn't have a tow hitch. Is one better than the other, or are they better at different scenarios? >But touch input drivers on both platforms still suck, so I don't really care what their Window management is like when I can't interact with them without a hand cramp. All touchpads give me cramps and carpal tunnel, that's why I use an angled mouse. Again, moot and off topic point. What's the point of a better touchpad if it's never gonna beat an ergonomic mouse?

      My point here is that your above idea of "proper window management" (or "window management [full stop]") is your own personal opinion. There are differing schools of thought in how computers should be interacted with, and your opinion is one of the many opinions that exist.
