I prefer Spectacle instead of Rectangle. For me, it looks more friendly. For example, you can press the cmd+opt+left arrow a couple of times and it will resize your window for 50% > 25% > 75%. In Rectangle you must learn the special shortcuts for this behaviour.

I have a real love-hate relationship with Brew. It's great if you keep things updated, but does not play well with older machines and OS versions (e.g. production systems that the customer doesn't keep up to date). I know it's not the real focus of this channel, but it would be interesting for you to compare to working on Linux (latest Gnome is very nice) or Windows (probably WSL, maybe even goofy WSLg).
