#2Still can't believe they haven't fixed the maximize the window functionality. Windows has so much better window management.
When I saw this title I thought "finally" but it appears that I'm going to be disappointed yet again.

Holding the Option key when clicking the Full Screen button is part of my muscle memory now.
I never understood the reasoning behind trying to change user behavior to favor 'full screen' over 'maximize' in a multitasking OS.

#4I use BetterTouchTool for window snapping. After seeing the title I thought maybe it would replace my need for BTT. However after watching, it definitely doesn't.
Here's a preview of BTT Window snapping: https://fat.gfycat.com/SandyFastFinch.webm . I also have keyboard shortcuts to snap left, right and maximise.

I think they didn't fix it because they didn't think it's a problem. I understand it might be hard to get used to if you're used to using applications fullscreen. But when you use a 27" iMac you kinda get why it works that way. I just have a lot of big windows and actually never want to maximize any of them. Partly overlapping windows also makes it easy to switch between them. So it actually suits the way I work quite well. As I see it: Apple has a vision on how you are supposed to work with a computer. You can only change it slightly. Maybe you like it, maybe you don't. I generally like to adapt the ideas a UI or OS is using. As long as it feels coherent and well thought out.

Becuase most people struggle with multiple tabs, imagine how painful multiple tabs in multiple windows may get.

#7Can you try resizing a window to the full screen and seeing if the dock still reserves pixels? http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/141800/gap-at-the-b...

Well on my main computer I am running a 34" screen with 3440x1440 in resolution. But when on a MacBook you really want to be able to maximize the window. Also, on my large screen, with Windows, I can drag any window to the side and have it maximize the space that is left which is just perfect.

#10I use this wonderful app Spectacle[1] for window management in OS X—I mean, macOS. :)
Effectively utilizing my screens is a big priority for me when I do work. It might just be a security blanket thing but I need need need to have a few things open at all times to get in my groove.
