Considering the 2nd most used desktop OS is MacOS and you can’t even maximise a window properly out of the box…
Double clicking any unused portion of the title bar will maximize a window within it's current space without going full-screen (the green button). It's not the most intuitive way to do it, but that's a far cry from being impossible out of the box.
Isn't it ironic that the operating system called "Windows" offers one of the worst window management user experiences?
OSX and XDG (Gnome etc...) based systems have nothing close last time I checked.

While I like my awesome more on a laptop, every is can be configured one way or the other to feel similar across OSes.

I used to prefer MacOS for development, but Windows has far surpassed it in recent years, between native linux experience in WSL and better QOL tooling via Power Toys. The removal of vertical taskbar has been pretty annoying though... pretty awful on a 49" monitor. All that's left now is to get some 5nm chips in Windows machines
You can bring it to Windows with this useful open source tool: https://github.com/QL-Win/QuickLook

I've actually never heard anyone mention Windows windows manager because the only people in the world who care don't use Windows.

Can you explain your claim? For me, Windows 11 has one of the best window management experiences out of the box, far ahead of MacOS and in line Linux. The ease of resizing, snapping and tiling windows out of the box is really well implemented in Windows 11 so I really don't get your claim.

I would like to have multiple desktops like MacOS but windows has snaps which MacOS doesn't has. While I like my awesome more on a laptop, every is can be configured one way or the other to feel similar across OSes.
Many, if not most of these tools contain functionality that is built into other major OSes, and had been for a long time. I don't really understand why Microsoft doesn't include them by default.
