    Yeah, but i think any programmable system should allow low level constructs if the high level constructs are not enough.

    iirc this caused serious problems with wine because the API of windows requires setting coordinates.

    So, in short: Not the program devs decide where and how windows are presented to you, you decide. Which I very much love.

      Same. I briefly had an M4 Mac Mini and one of the things I instantly missed about Linux was Wayland.

      I always want new windows to open on the middle of the screen I am currently working on, but on Windows and MacOS they just go wherever they want.

        And I love the 100% predictability of where windows will open: Either on the workspace I explicitly configured, out of my sight, or to the right/below the currently focused container. And the settings for that are always in the same place, ~/.config/sway/
