it's more that you can snap a window to the sides, snap to the top for fullscreen, etc
on macs it seems like you just have to drag and expand the windows to the size you want, and if the dock isn't on auto-hide you have those corners of empty space

those snap to top/sides autosize thigns are fucking annoying

to be fair I detest using OS X on small screens, but on larger ones I find its iwndow management much more convenient

When trying to move windows, aero snap is pretty annoying. The drag-based snap is also rather limited in that it doesn't work with multiple monitors. Keyboard-based snapping (using Win+Left/Right), however, works perfectly fine and is pretty useful. I prefer to disable the mouse-based snapping.

I don't know about OS X, but Linux (and BSD etc) have plenty of (floating) window managers with similar window snapping, including at least Compiz (Ubuntu default) and xfwm4 (Xfce default). I'm currently using an entirely tiling-based window manager.
