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/
Still 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?
Also 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?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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