Probably a given on Mac: iTerm2 Terminal Emulator https://www.iterm2.com/

Less of a given, still Mac: Rectangle Tiling Window Organiser https://rectangleapp.com/

For Linux I would use Xmonad to achieve the same as the two programs above.

I have been using Spectacle (https://www.spectacleapp.com/) for years wishing it had mouse driven window snapping. I even once tried to implement it myself but gave up. I just tried Rectangle by your suggestion and it is absolutely amazing. Thank you.

Been using spectacle for years but since it's no longer maintained I had to moved to rectangle. Very similar, love it

I have been looking for a Windows alike snapping tool for Mac. Just tried Rectangle and it works just fine, thank you!

Check out yabai for a great macOS tiling manager.
