I suggest that the answer to this question is that Steve Jobs decides how
people work with their computer. Now, nobody interpret this is a dig. It's
not.

In this case Steve wants us all to use Expose. And I for one think its a
better option than Window's resizing and Arrange All choices for finding
open windows. Its very visual and easy. Steve got this right. The way to
work in OS X is to set the window to the size that you want and keep it
there. Use Expose to switch between windows. I prefer the fact that in OS
X you can grab any border of the window and drag it around the screen. I
think this is superior to Windows methodology.

For those of us that really need to have windows tiled and un-shrunk, or are
resizing them often, the only way that I have found is grabbing and dragging
that lower right corner. I can't tile windows in OS X and still have both
documents or programs available for editing or use with Expose. Expose just
shows them to me. For this particular function I think Steve got it wrong.
