To their credit, the Alt+RMB method for resizing windows is, along with Alt+LMB for moving windows, really amazing. I get annoyed when I have to go back to the old way on my Mac and Windows systems.

I agree! I started using alt+rmb because I couldn't resize windows the normal way, because of the minimal xfce windowing chrome. Found this way as a workaround and now I can't really live without it. I agree, Windows/Mac window resizing now feels like handling a cumbersome dinosaur :-)

I get where you guys are coming from on this. The problem is more acute for those of us who switch between two or three different OSes as a matter of course and spend the least amount of time in Linux. That's where something like MATE really shines.

BetterTouchTool can do moving and resizing on macos, I've got them set to "FN+control" and "FN+control+option". Still haven't found anything good for Windows.

I've used this when I need to use Windows. Works well enough.
