    but Linux window managers have always lacked creative input.

    What do you mean? Window managers' job is to show windows where they are desired and not show windows where they are not desired. With optional bells and whistles like snapping to edges and autoresizing to screen quadrants.

    So, can anyone elaborate on question instead of downvoting? Is it dragging windows that lacks creative input? Is it resizing windows that lacks creative input? Or it is showing window itself what lacks creative input?

    It's like saying clipboard always lacked creative input. There is only so much it does. Copying, pasting and optionally working with history. That's it.

    Well, I guess you might want to rotate the window by 45 degrees, then ok, this is not what most window managers just allow to do. And other major OSes doesn't allow at all AFAIK.
