I know that eventually there will be automatic window resizing implemented in the Shell, a la Windows Aero Snap, and that is good, but I would like to see even more from this feature. Something along the lines of SizeUp or if we want to be really cool, Divvy.

oh beautiful, tiling without the need for snapping.
 

With this kind of functionality, the Shell could act like a tiling window manager for those that want to set it up to be so! 

yeah, very useful indeed.

Snapping is indeed a useful thing to do, the use cases for free window resizing are fairly limited, snapping resize or resizing in a grid makes much more sense, especially when you want to think of docking stuff to edges and such..
