Oh, and the (lack of) window borders:
This is a concrete and practical problem - I often get into fights with multiple open browsers.
I will have 2 or 3 browser windows open,
each containing an ongoing selection of related open tabs concerning a given separate task/subject.
As I try to resize, position and minimize-maximize those 3 windows, I will have trouble figuring out the right area to get hold of "window N". (because of the modern minimalist way of drawing it, especially in dark mode).
This problem is made worse by the modern violation of the title bar itself.
Originally, the title bar would be exactly that, with identical design across multiple applications.
Nowaways, the titlebar is a free-for-all anything-goes, with everything-but-the-actual-titlehandle stuffed into it. And worse, if it gets cramped for space, the title-handle (by which you move and handle the window..) is the first to lose and go!
So you find yourself begging your application window "is there any place I can interact with you to move you?"
Surely we live in the age of the instant geniuses.
The right area for a resize of the right window border is ~33% of the window's area at the right (with an Alt or some other key) instead of a tiny window border. Similarly minimizaion is much better done with a shortcut/mouse gesture rather than with a tiny button in the corner (though it's not easy to find out about these better UI actions)
That's fine, but I'd still prefer to have real window borders. Not only because they make manipulating the window easier, but because the visual separation itself makes the entire system easier to visually parse and use.
Visual border and resize border are two different UI things, and regarding the latter, precision-hunting for a tiny line instead of a thick area doesn't make manipulation easier, that's just a persistent mistake of the previous generations of UI geniuses
