I know it's been around for a while, but I don't recall people talking about it like it's a killer feature of Linux window management until after the "UI in the window titlebar" trend started.

That used to be the case, but in 10.7 they changed the green window button from being "zoom" (snap the window to fit its content) to "fullscreen". They let you change the default behavior back to zoom for a few years but

For window move I think it's a reaction to the popularization of putting UI in the window titlebar so there's nothing to grab onto. I don't mind it but I wish there was a dedicated "grab" button on the mouse because

You can restore the old UI by changing the “tabs” setting from “compact” to “top” or “bottom”.

I'm sure that many Iranians would support the regime being toppled, and so would the Iranian diaspora (understandably, since most of them were either forced out of the country or chose to leave due to the revolution, so of course they
