Apple's macOS Sequoia lets you snap windows into position

Really? Personally, at this point, I'm generally more surprised when they do.

I kinda like the ratpoison or i3 approaches to window management (which I’d characterise as “don’t worry about it, I’ll just do the right thing until you tell me to resize or rotate or whatever”) better though.

Yes it's not free, but it's a cheap one-time purchase and I've been using the same license for a decade now, so it's close enough to free that the difference is moot.

The only snapping features I use are snap left, snap right, and resize both snapped windows at the same time (which Rectangle doesn’t do).

Sometimes less is more, I’m more happy with Sequoia native snapping than with Rectangle/Magnet

Current approach sounds best to me, Apple gets to implement a (relatively simple) feature exactly how they want, power users and existing users can rely on third party apps.

> It’s packed with every feature you could possibly want, though I think Magnet is a little more intuitive to use.

Just give me iTerm-like split windows, I'm dying.

Cars are a great example of this. The majority of them have an underline design flaw but people keep buying them with said flaw. The door entry is not designed for parking lots / car parks.

It probably has more to do with how tiling with no margins with rounded window corners looks kinda awkward and entirely obscures the desktop, which is a bit more of a pillar UI element on macOS than it is on Windows and Windows-analogue DEs.

Three things come to mind regarding bad Apple UX:

1. USB ports on the back of a screen

2. No separate Copy/Paste keys, or Undo/Redo keys.

3. Magic mouse with a USB port on the bottom (so you can't use it while charging).

4. Sideways traffic light on top of windows

5. Maximizing windows to full screen is hard to do.

It's gotten to the point where it's just confusing to me to have multiple screens on the rare occasion I plug one in. I'm constantly look at the wrong screen and usually I just end up unplugging the external screen because it's just easier for me. Another factor is that most screens are kind of underwhelming in terms of contrast, resolution and colors relative to what comes with a mac book. They aren't very pleasing to look at and most offices seem to settle for cheap Dell 2K screens or something similarly dreary. Ergonomically, I like laptops and not having to get a neck cramp looking up at some screen. I use my laptop on my lap quit often. Couches are great for that.

Mostly I use applications maximized and just alt+tab between them as needed. Because of the notch, using applications full screen is kind of pointless. Effectively the space around the notch is only usable for the menu. So, the choice is really whether you want a menu or not. In my case, the answer is yes I want the menu there. Full screen is one of those features that became an anti-feature. Apple should just get rid of that.

So these new features are wasted on me. I don't see why I would want to split the screen between two apps. I only use one at the time mostly.
