I 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. [1] https://www.spectacleapp.com/

#22Still 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.

Click the green dot, go full-screen. Double click the title bar or option-click the green dot and you get a maximized window that takes up the screen minus the dock, but doesn't enter full-screen mode.
What exactly needs to be 'fixed'? Or is it simply that it's not exactly the same as the Windows functionality that's your real complaint?

#26Also noticed the dock has blank spacers in it. If that is the case, that is a great new feature as well.

I'm not familiar with this complaint. Can you explain it to me? When I click the green button the app fills up the screen, then I can just three-finger-swipe between windows, I love it. Is that what you don't like?

Double-clicking the title bar does not cause the window to take up "the screen minus the dock".
