I love mine as well. To me it is working with Windows the way it was envisioned, where you can place documents and tools where you want them as you would on a desk. You can even see your "desk" (wallpaper) in the space between documents. I shove my calendar and chat up high where I can easily see them, but they are out of my way.

One display is also no muss, no fuss. The time wasted on fiddling with displays, layouts and dealing with OS (oh Windows..) issues can negate the benefits of multiple monitors especially for less technical users (forums are filled with people who can't figure out the rules for HDMI/DP resolution combinations for their computer).

Speaking of Windows, the only real problem is that window snap doesn't allow me to set a 70/30 split vertical and horizontal instead of 50/50. Tried many different tools, but none seemed optimized for Windows 10.

Have you tried https://losttech.software/stack.html ? It works well for me on Windows 10.
I've been using GridMove (in addition to AltDrag) on Windows for years and it's been realy awesome.

Just recently I've bought a silly Razer Tartarus V2 keyboard just to bind window positions on GridMove to specific keys. Jury's still out.
