Using Amethyst as a macOS Window Manager
The good: Amethyst is straightforward to install, works without requiring low-level macOS tweaks, and automatically organizes windows into useful layouts, echoing the kind of tailored workflows Andy Matuschak describes where every interface reflects the needs of its expert user.
The bad: Amethyst doesn’t let you easily export your window configurations, and its config file is named with quirky, sometimes confusing keys, making initial setup surprisingly daunting if you want to tune things beyond the defaults.
The ugly: I’m having to “reset layouts” every so often for windows to fall in place. This could get tiring!
