+# Window management doesn't work because all my windows are huge.
+
+I have two computers at home with very different screens: one has a resolution of 1512 x 982, and the other one has a resolution of 512 x 342. On both screens I multi-task and get to use similar apps: text editors, file managers, image editors, web browsers, etc. And yet my large spacious laptop often feels more constrained than the tiny screen on the older mac.
+
+I'm not saying the windowing experience was better in 1989, because it wasn't. But it wasn't all worse either. One of the things I find most irritating is how large screens are nowadays [1]. For example:
+
+Omnigraffle, a diagramming app can't be resized to less than 57% of the screen width. Transmit, an FTP app needs 58%. Xcode, the official Apple IDE has decided it requires at least 63% of my screen width to operate. Setapp can't let me install apps without taking 72% of my screen width, and Davinci Resolve is generous to give me back a meager 4% of my screen width back.
+
+All of these apps could go way smaller and still provide a great experience, there's plenty of examples: Max 8, Finder (Without sidebars), Blender. Many of the apps I believe they could change that limit and nothing else and it would work great. Some other apps have decided that design = padding and macspread all over the screen. It's just rude to not let me use all that screen space.
+
+Meanwhile on the older mac, I find that most apps tend to be friendlier with screen real-estate. Of course without virtual spaces and smaller resolutions you had to!
+
+Large windows make window management worse, please make your windows smaller.

-I didn’t know what to expect from the title, but after going through it I’d say the taxonomy is pretty much on point.
