It's 2023 and Apple is a trillion dollar company, and they still don't have window snapping/tiling in OSX. I don't have anything positive to say about their OS lol.
Afaik it's patented.

Damn tell that to literally every single Linux WM lol
Lemme get this straight. Microsoft successfully got a patent for a feature that KDE had before Windows did?
Patents, copyright and trademark do nothing but make rich people richer and stifle innovation.
They encourage creation. Trademarks are different. In order to do so properly, they should be far more limited.
Right now the forever copyright means no one can remix sixty year old stories
Right now patents are issued for trivial IT "inventions" which stifle competing products.
Trademarks are fine. They are intended to protect you from misleading products. They let Apple sue people that sell stuff which might mislead you into thinking it's an apple product.
Of course trademarks are also abused, for example Apple uses trademarks to prevent recycling iPhone parts. That couple be fixed.
You can't even reprint 60-year-old stories.
The first thing I do with a new Mac is install Better Touch Tool UI. It's mandatory software for Mac as far as I'm concerned.
I was missing the KDE style drag/resize windows with modifier keys, then I found https://penc.app that kinda fills that void
it also does snapping and auto 50% with trackpad gesture
I feel like the full screen tiling on mac makes up for this. Having used both windows and Mac a lot I think I slightly prefer Mac's way of splitting full screen windows but I see the appeal of both
I had to use MacOS for 2 years after using Windows for 20. The copious amounts of energy suddenly releasing when thousands of dying stars start to explode in unison can't compare to the deep, burning hate I feel for MacOS.
But I know there are people who like or love it. No problem with that. It's just a personal feeling.
Bro they don't even have touchscreen support
