How's the built-in window tiling on Windows?

Within Apple's own programs, you see this behavior? Or are you speaking of third-party apps that may be disrespecting the established paradigm?

Yes, and I love the hide feature.

Seriously, there's plenty to complain about in Mac land these days. There's a definite trajectory and I don't at all like where it's headed. But all of your complaints (other than possibly the one regarding iTunes), essentially boil down to "this isn't Windows". That's fine, go use what you want. What's baffling is when you call something garbage, because it doesn't match your preferences especially when it matches those of others.
