I've been using Windows.app for about a week now and use it pretty extensively these days. For whatever reason, I could never work divvy/sizeup/slate/etc. into my workflow; the config UIs generally felt tiresome or overwhelming.

You can configure it with JS or CoffeeScript, and using JSCocoa gives you access to most (all?) of Cocoa's API to do as you please. And the latest version has a minimal REPL that you can use to tinker.

The author has a nice config you could paste into ~/.windowsapp.coffee to get started:

Screenshots for the lazy?

Screenshots don't really make sense for this app. It's a configuration-based WM, so APIs make more sense.

Here's a link to the CoffeeScript/JavaScript API: https://github.com/sdegutis/windowsapp#api
