Which window manager? There are dozens, or hundreds.

Which would make bw-interactive specially suitable for Emacs users on
Windows, I suppose.

For an Emacs package, consistency with the rest of Emacs is more
important that consistency with some window manager, I think.

All in all, I don't like or dislike bw-interactive.el. It seems like
too much complexity for *my specific needs* with respect to window
resizing; I don't think I would ever use it. But perhaps many users
would love it, I don't know. YMMV, etc.
