I have two pet peeves with OS X and I'm wondering if there are any workarounds. The first is that moving and resizing windows is more difficult than in Windows. The cursor is very tiny and when you move the cursor to a window edge or corner, only a very narrow band -- a few pixels -- will activate the window resize cursor. In Windows, I think the cursor actually snaps to this area in the window, making it pretty easy to move and resize windows. Lion helps -- now I can resize a window from anywhere -- but it's still more cumbersome than Windows, I have to confess.
Gripe number two is that Command-Tab cycles through applications and not windows. So if I want to switch to a Firefox window, I have to use the mouse.
How do you guys deal with this? Are there shortcut keys or utilities you use?
