macOS window management is incredibly worse than the other two operating system, and that's if you use Spectacle and other helper tools. Without them, it's even worse.

I loved my time with macOS but window management was definitely the worst thing about the OS for me.

Ya but... how could those differences be so impactful? I tile my windows occasionally, it's handy, but I can't imagine that being my single issue vote.

I don't tile my windows, macOS' window management is a death by a thousand cuts. I haven't used it since Mojave so I forgot what exactly used to bother me, sorry.

It's certainly serviceable, Windows feels better to me, Linux is the best: Super+right click to resize windows, and Super+drag to move them around are killer features.

Do you mean that they're locked in-place unless you hold down whatever super is? I use CMD+direction for a segment of the screen on whichever half or third I want, and other hotkeys for corners, and click and drag if I need. Lately I've just not been bothering much, as a lack of tiling hasn't been bothering me so much.
