I already use PowerToys for work. This one I can’t wait to try. My machine is required to reboot once a week. All the windows are slightly off, and I have to use FancyZones to get them each back where I want them every time.

Sadly it is not able to detect every window and it can't capture multiple desktops. Maybe it becomes actually usable in a few versions ...

So, one of the things os/2 did back in the 90s?

It's crazy how little desktop environments (besides the open source ones) have evolved over the last decades. I believe the next version of OS X will finally add tiling.
