Bobby Payne

Founder of Chrome Unboxed

Snapping apps to the top or bottom is super useful. From my perspective and use cases, this will be a godsend for coding.

Kevin C. Tofel

Founder of About Chromebook

The improved window management is a big deal for coders and portrait artists. A vertical screen space can increase a developer's view of their code by a whopping 82%, and this multitasking improvement helps them even more. Even Windows 10 doesn't have vertical snaps built-in
