Minus Mjolnir, I've tried the rest and still prefer Slate[1] but it hasn't been updated since Feb 2013. Actually I had never heard of Mjolnir before now. I like Slate's ability to define a config file that is just a little more powerful than the competition, plus it's easy to sync across machines. I haven't updated to Yosemite, but Slate works wonderfully on Mavericks. [1]: https://github.com/jigish/slate https://github.com/jigish/slate

Mjolnir might still be worth trying. I'm not sure how you got Slate to work with Mavericks, but Mjolnir is very similar, under active development, and has Lua instead of JS as its scripting language.

  Unfortunately, the lead developer has decided to work on a closed-source alternative to Mjolnir so a new fork has been made.

    said fork is Hammerspoon - http://www.hammerspoon.org/ http://www.hammerspoon.org/

  There are some minor issues, but Slate generally works under Mavericks and Yosemite. Check out: https://github.com/jigish/slate/issues/405 https://github.com/jigish/slate/issues/405

I would 100% recommend Mjolnir as an actively-developed Slate alternative. sdegutis has a solid history of writing great window management stuff.

  Mjolnir isn't actually under active development anymore. A few months ago sdegutis decided to write a closed source alternative which has not yet been released. The mjolnir community does have an actively developed fork though called hammerspoon. http://www.hammerspoon.org/ http://www.hammerspoon.org/ I would recommend either of them, but hammerspoon has a smoother onboarding process.

    Thanks :) We'd love to get feedback about Hammerspoon, or suggestions for plugins we could add. Feel free to drop by #hammerspoon on Freenode, or file issues at https://github.com/Hammerspoon/hammerspoon https://github.com/Hammerspoon/hammerspoon

    Fascinating. I hadn't realized Mjolnir wasn't under development anymore. I'm glad to see the community is keeping it going, though.

    Hmm, do you have a source for that? (That Mjolnir isn't being developed). I just checked https://github.com/sdegutis/mjolnir https://github.com/sdegutis/mjolnir, and I don't see any mention of this, and the last commit was from November 15.
