A great fix for the lack of maximizing would be if apps would snap the edges of the screen so it would be easy to make them bigger. is there any program, hack, or applescript that can do this?
Its been in BSD and Linux for some time now (pre Compiz and Beryl) and is a function of the window manager. I remember using it in the late 90's but after searching haven't found something similar for Aqua/OS X.
Oh please please please let there be something that can do this on the Mac! I use Linux extensively and this is one of the things I really want to have on the Mac.
