What I think is wrong with the current approach is that it strains peoples muscles unnecessarily in other words is rather uncomfortable to use. IMHO it is counter intuitive to only be able to resize windows from the edges (I for one often want to extend a window in one direction only). If it can be done for the edges why not for the whole window? My vote goes towards an invisible area in which the mouse pointer changes shape (and snaps to the edge of the window if so required) that remains usable also when high res screens are being used. I don't understand why the issue needs debating? Haven't you tried to resize windows with the mouse (not using the edges)? Please do 10 resizes on a high res screen and let us know how your arm feels afterwards!
