I'm curious. What workflow do you have that requires window snapping? I'm asking because I have no use for window snapping and I'm trying to understand why people require it.

The biggest use for me, as a Windows user, is multitasking on a single monitor. For example, I can have my code up on one half of my screen, and documentation on the other side. It's really quick and easy when the windows snap into position.

I don’t recall offhand how to trigger it but you can absolutely do a two app split-screen in MacOS.

I’m usually working in multiple applications and being able to quickly arrange them saves a massive amount of time over the course of a work day. I’ve worked extensively in both MacOS and Windows and I just prefer the tools windows gives you.
