I'm surprised no one has mentioned https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai -- it takes a little work to setup but it's well worth the effort. It's keyboard centric and auto lays out windows nicely.
TLDR: use yabai to manage windows and skhd to bind key bindings to yabai commands.

I use https://rectangleapp.com/pro and really enjoy this app (I paid for it, it gets a lot of updates/fixes). It mostly takes care of snapping and resizing windows with hot keys, but has a less obvious feature in preferences to use mouse. My setup is: CMD+SHIFT will move any window under mouse pointer CMD+SHIFT+CTRL will resize any window under mouse pointer
I like divvy. Create your own grids. Works with a mouse or keyboard. https://mizage.com/divvy/ I also like Witch for window/app switching. I just wish it was a little less sluggish to activate: https://manytricks.com/witch/

I've been using a Mac since 2010 and someone always points out 'weird' features like this to me on what has to be a monthly basis.
Same with iPhone. My mind was blown when after years of tapping left-arrow someone showed me what happens when you hold down the space key. Or that dragging the iphone chat message app's background to the left reveals the timestamps of each message. It's all very clever and elegant and minimal but consumer technology user interfaces seem to be converging on that of a Theremin.

I've also been hand-copying my Zooom2 app from machine to machine. On my new M1, I am using Hookshot (which apparently is now Rectangle Pro https://rectangleapp.com/pro ) – it has support for key combos to Move and Resize windows. The only downside is that Hookshot/Rectangle focuses the window when you do this, which Zooom2 did not.
Not sure if you've seen this issue in the tracking: https://github.com/rxhanson/RectanglePro-Community/issues/46 I am planning on adding some control into the UI for it, but no guarantees on a timeframe.
