What does HackerNews think of alt-tab-macos?

I really struggled with moving to macOS for work, but a couple of utilities helped a lot:

AltTab - Windows style tabbing between windows, including thumbnails and tiles for each open window of an application[1].

    brew install --cask alt-tab

LinearMouse - Removes mouse acceleration, but also gives you the ability to have different scroll directions on mouse and trackpad[2].

    brew install --cask linearmouse

Rectangle - Open source window management tool, I use it for window snapping[3].

    brew install --cask rectangle

Rectangle and Alt-Tab [0] significantly reduce my need to use the touchpad or reach for the mouse.

Normal MacOS windows handling seems enraging and cumbersome.

My tip:

Make your Cmd-Tab do everything you've ever wanted it to do that it currently can't:

I'm the main contributor of an app that emulates Windows's alt-tab feature on macOS (https://github.com/lwouis/alt-tab-macos). I researched this topic extensively, and eventually decided that I would bite the bullet and pay from my own pocket, so that users get a good UX when launching the app.

It is displeasing to see Apple not having an open-source program in-which they give free certificates for popular open-source projects after a review. They are a large beneficiary of OSS after all.

Furthermore, smaller companies do it frequently these days: Jetbrains gave me free IDE licenses, poeditor gave me a free account, github hosts the project code, ticketing system, and is the distribution channel for first downloads and updates, appcenter hosts crash reports for free, travis does the CI for free, etc.
