Yes I have noticed this too! I love my MacBook, but the idea that I would pay what, $20, for the top tier window snapping app is completely ridiculous. That’s something that should be built in to the shell!

> Window Snapping

Use https://www.spectacleapp.com/ - it's free.

It's not exactly the same, but better in many ways - excepting the auto-drag snapping. Snapping is via key combination instead.

But Apple gets a 30% cut of the money you spend on the extra apps?
