What's the benefit of using this vs. WMs like SizeUp?
I'm asking this question because I'm quite comfortable with SizeUp and don't understand if learning how to use a WM is worth it.
- rcknight 12y agoSeems to me that there are 2 big benefits over sizeup (though i'm basing this entirely on their website, i've not used it) 1 - With sizeup you have to manually move your apps around. With this, new windows are automatically tiled (and you can then move things around afterwards with the keyboard shortcuts) 2 - This seems like it supports more complex layouts (with various layouts built in)
- ianyh 12y agoThat is generally correct. I wrote a longer comment about this but SizeUp is about manually managing windows and Amethyst is about letting software manage windows for you. It's generally a matter of personal preference which you prefer.
