When did you use a Mac last, 2010?

You can run nix on macOS now. You can also drag windows into corners or edges to tile them, it is almost exactly like Windows 7 or 10. You can even have tiling window managers on macOS that emulate i3.

Your complaints with the dock seem like a personal choice... I like the dock behavior but if you don't, probably not a lot that will fix that, it will always suck.

Sad to report that external monitor support is still terrible.

2024. Dragging windows to the corners isnt how I would do it in windows or linux, I just use a super key and an arrow key and it moves it as needed along the tile. Having to drag a window around is terrible design.

Going all the way back to Windows 7 I preferred dragging to arrow keys, I legitimately don’t understand how that’s “terrible design” and not just a personal preference.
I would suspect a sizable portion of Windows users didn’t even realize that snapping with the arrow keys was possible, since keyboard shortcuts are (generally) harder to discover than mouse actions.

You can set whatever keyboard shortcut you want if you don’t want to drag the window.
Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts… > Windows > Quarters
Make them whatever you think they should be. No one is being forced to drag windows.
