Snapping can be a nice option, but I don't want it to be how things work all the time. As you note, it's great to have control over your windows, desktop, etc. — windows moving into place on their own is disturbing (and annoying) after using Macs since the mid-80s.

macOS is not Windows, and trying to shoehorn that way of doing things into it is senseless. The Alt-Tab section of the article is a good example of this — can they begin to grok that the presence of cmd-~ is a (potentially) useful thing for workflows, and makes sure that you're not stuck with one, basic command (Alt-Tab) that has other stuff glommed onto it? There's plenty to be annoyed at when it comes to the Mac interface, but these are weird hills to fight over.
