I struggled with the same annoyances for years. Then I installed TotalSpaces... but I think that stopped working. Liquid Ass destroyed my iphone and apple watch and I was able, thank god, to stop it from infecting my MacBook. At the cost of the newest updates.
Just a suggestion: have an example obj object, or several, loaded up. It will sound nuts to you, but I probably won't find one and will just unload the app when I need space.
The whole 'software craftsmanship' thing was hilarious from the get-go. Software is not furniture, where the best examples will stand the test of time. It all ends up, good or bad, in a figurative landfill. But if it is a thing, AI is going to soon be a ten armed very skilled octopus. If you weren't having fun all this time, well, the joke's on you. Might as well use the new tools to start having fun now.
