That's what MacOS does, right? I always wondered if there were any users who liked it.

Not me that's for sure. Window management on OSX is properly broken without third-party hacks. Maximizing never does what I want it to do. It's never predictable, and I've learned never to touch that button when I'm on OSX, because I know there's a good chance I'll get frustrated.

Glad I'm on Gnome 90% of the time :)

It's actually quite useful. It means you can stick monitoring stuff and things on the side of the screen and your maximized windows automatically avoid them: that you can rapidly irregularly tile windows by maximizing one of them, shrinking it in one dimension as much as you like, then maximizing the other one...
