For me Spotlight fails constantly. I don't know what's tripping it up but programs I use often it randomly decides "today I'm not going to find those for you". I have it set to only show programs and nothing else so no idea why it can't do that simple task but whatever, several times a week it decides "not this time"

As for tiling, Mac does do somethings that Windows (IIRC) doesn't. One is, if you move a window or the edge of a window slowly it will snap at the border of another window. So you move fast to get it close then slow down and it will align nicely.

Also, tiling: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204948

But I agree that Windows tiling is more discoverable.

Spotlight gets better the less you ask it to do. Remove varieties of results (eg: web searching) and see how much more useful it becomes.
