Windows-style snapping can also be extremely irritating with how easily accidental snap-proposals are triggered when moving around windows that you don't want snapped or maximized. I would say that when using Windows (or Linux DE with similar snap proposal UX) the bulk of proposals triggered are unintentional. In aggregate it's a surprising amount of unnecessary noise.

This is why on macOS I prefer utilities like Moom, which tucks snap options behind a little popup that replaces the native macOS zoom button hover popup. It gives me snapping on the odd occasion it's actually useful without the spammy accidentally triggered border zoom animations that come with Windows snapping.



I don’t have the same experience. Is your mouse sensitivity turned up very high?
