This solves a few issues in xdotool for me:

Window selection allows for multiple criteria at once, and I can also reject windows.

I'm also able to use the window manager's client list as a source, which makes getting toplevel windows much easier.

Window movement is done using static gravity, fixing an issue where windows were moving differently if they were a terminal window versus non-terminal window.

Bonk can delete properties. I sometimes delete WM_NORMAL_HINTS if a window has size hints set where I can't resize it the way I want.

xdotool can raise windows but can't lower them (bonk can do both).
