I have to put in my two cents.
I am a Windows user but am using OSX only for iphone development. It is a pretty OS and Spaces / Expose, brilliant. But the resizing issue has annoyed me to no end. On Windows, 90% of my resizing occurs from the bottom-right edge but when i do need to resize from the other borders it is SO much of relief to do so. I get the problem resolved now and i can get back to work.
To make the argument for not having resizing for any border is ludicrous. It reminds me of my comp-sci teacher saying "what's the point of multi-tasking" back in the day when the Amiga computer was killer hardware and the PC was DOS. The "point" is more functionality. If you don't need it don't use it. In no way does having the ability hinder. Accidental resizing? Huh!? I've never heard of such an issue in the Windows world. Perhaps such a feature in older OSx versions took a different approach to the elegance of Windows?
Yes I am pro-Windows. But i think MS has ripped off and improved on so many features that the Windows trailmix actually works well for the mass. For me, all marketing propaganda aside, OSX to Windows is like the functionality of Apple's Xcode to Microsoft's Visual Studio.
With that all said, i am using Afloat to get around the missing resizing functionality. It isn't perfect but it is something. I do recommend it to my Windows brethren and apparently many Mac users to.
All the best.
