That's exactly how I feel too!

For MacOS, I love Rectangle, which is both great and open source:

Yeah, I'm still on Spectacle, which is basically the same thing. It's all I need as far as tiling-alike stuff goes and is the very first thing I install after Homebrew, on a new Mac. In fact, Homebrew, Spectacle, and using the Settings GUI to set my caps lock to an extra ctrl, is the entirety of my new-Mac setup routine, as far as stuff that never varies. I've tried "real" tiling WMs on Linux and don't really get it. I just need quick and consistent keyboard shortcuts for send-to-quarter, send-to-half, and maximize. That's plenty.

It seems that spectacle is not being actively maintained anymore.

I'll stop doing `brew install spectacle` and look for something else when it stops working :-)

M1 Mac, but I'm still on Big Sur. Maybe Monterey breaks it. Guess I'll find out soonish.

I'm reluctant to change a piece of software that's never given me so much as a hiccup in years of use, until I have to.
