I also think Windows' native window tiling is one of its best features, but there's a fantastic program called Swish that implements tiling for MacOS in a very native-feeling way. It supports keyboard shortcuts, but it's built around really elegant touchpad gestures. Highly recommend if that's all that's keeping you on Windows. The other native Windows feature I really like is the clipboard manager, and I don't have a great replacement for that yet. I'm kind of shocked Apple hasn't built one. If anyone has a recommendation that feels native instead of like a ported Linux widget, please share.

They mentioned Visual Studio, as in full-fat VS, not VS Code. That's only ever going to run on Windows.

  It actually did run on MacOS until recently. Personally I like Rider over Studio, but yes, if that's a hard requirement they are stuck.

    No, it was not real Visual Studio on MacOS, it was rebranded Xamarin IDE.

I'm using Raycast on Mac, it has a bunch of stuff included but I use it only for its Clipboard History extension.

  It has window tiling too.

Apple did introduce one this past fall as part of Spotlight

*> the clipboard manager [...] If anyone has a recommendation that feels native I use Maccy (https://maccy.app/ https://maccy.app/). I've been very happy with it, and wish I'd installed it years earlier than I did. It's open source, and does its one job well. I haven't used the Windows clipboard manager so I don't know how they compare on features.

I moved from Windows to Pop_Os! 6 months ago and am generally quite happy except for the window tiling. It really is fantastic in windows.

  Idk which desktop environment you're using, but window tiling on KDE Plasma is quite good.

    Thanks. Though, I can't find much about it's capabilities. Does it do "automatic" tiling, where windows just snap automatically into spaces and resize? Because popos can optionally do that too, but it's not what I'm looking for. I want Windows-like functionality where new windows are full size and then I can use windows key+ arrow keys to resize and it will then automatically prompt me to select a window to snap into the remaining space. That's what's missing in popos
