I much prefer Windows to MacOS. The fact it is missing decent tiling is a nonstarter. It’s too inflexible for my workflow.
And sure, Windows can be maddeningly inconsistent, but what really destroys the experience is the constant ensh*ttification.
I know a lot of people here hate everything about Windows, but for me, it only sucks because Microsoft designs it to suck.
Not only are there ads and (some) first party lockin, I cannot trust they will continue offering updates, paywall feaures, restrict more functionality, or insert stuff like AI to mess up my workflow.
I used to think reliability was just about stability and bugginess, but now I think it is about trust as well.
Another good one is Magnet. Its weakness is that the tiling is manual, but once you internalize the keybindings, it’s good enough. And because it’s manual, it doesn’t screw up your windows like all the others seem to (for me at least).
Sway on Linux beats all of them hands down, though.

I use Amethyst on Mac for tiling: https://ianyh.com/amethyst/.
Not sure if that’s what you meant though.
Yabai works pretty well even with SIP enabled and there’s a new one called AeroSpace that’s in the works.

Thanks for the tip, aerospace looks to be exactly what I’ve been looking for for a long time #-#
Looks nice, I’ll check it out if I have to use Mac OS again.
Let’s hope you don’t

Is that so? I’ve been wanting to try a tilling manager for Linux, thanks for the recommend!
If you must use X11 for some reason, i3 is the OG. Sway is Wayland. But yeah, I think those two are pretty much perfection.
I’m searching for some document on my work PC and I see ads in my start menu, like what the fuck?
Can somebody exploit that already so they get rid of it
macOS 15 will have tiling. At last lol
I don’t understand when people say macOS is inflexible, I find it incredibly flexible, stable and efficient.
