Rectangle for window snapping is a life saver!
Lack of window snapping is my number one reason I cannot stand MacOS as a working environment. The fact that the only solution is a third party app is infuriating.
I'm curious. What workflow do you have that requires window snapping? I'm asking because I have no use for window snapping and I'm trying to understand why people require it.
The biggest use for me, as a Windows user, is multitasking on a single monitor. For example, I can have my code up on one half of my screen, and documentation on the other side. It's really quick and easy when the windows snap into position.
I don’t recall offhand how to trigger it but you can absolutely do a two app split-screen in MacOS.
