I haven't used Spectacle, but I wanted to point out Better Touch Tool as another option to those investigating Window Mgmt apps/scripts:

BTT provides the same window controls as Spectacle, configurable to your custom keyboard or mouse or touchpad actions, plus a lot more that may be useful to you. I've been very happy with BTT.

I warmly recommend spectacle. Spectacle along with Alfred radically improved the way I interact with the Finder. Being able to summon files/applications/webpages/... and move the corresponding windows trough keyboard shortcuts alone is quite liberating.

I've added Spectacle to the post. It's pretty cool that it's open source.
