How is positioning unique to spatial?  I open windows and put them where 
I want them.  I almost never reboot my mac, so they remain where I left 
them.

That just sounds horrible to me.  Shift-double-click as the most common 
action?

I don't even understand this concept.

OK, that's a separate issue.

Same here but would like a friendly visual navigation (i.e. not 
requiring contortions to avoid opening extraneous windows) followed by a 
simple operation to "open terminal window with it's working directory here".
