Suddenly the Mac way of maximizing a window only to us as much space as needed make a lot of sense
Actually I think both the Mac and Windows need some work in this area.
What I’m proposing here is different-- maximizing to a space that the user determines, not the application. Big difference. One of the big complaints about the Mac way of “maximizing” is that you never actually know what will happen when you click that button. Could get larger… could maximize… who knows what will happen? It’s a form of mystery meat navigation.
Compare that with dragging an app to a grid slot on a target monitor, which produces exactly the size you want and expect.
