grid

I've become so used to aligning windows to a grid on Windows (via Win+Arrow Key) and Linux (via Compiz Grid) that when I sit down at a Mac I want to gouge my eyes out trying to align windows.

Is there any sort of application or service for Mac OS X that handles windows like this?

Here is an example of Compiz Grid plugin.
