Breeze gives you simple window management on Mac OS X through a concept called "window states".
When you save a window state, Breeze remembers the relative size and position of the focused window.
At any point, you can apply that state (size and position) like a template to any other focused window.
Breeze comes with some handy default window states for Fullscreen and Splitscreen Left or Right.

A better solution would be putting a little pencil button next to every window state, clearly indicating how to edit it.

Currently, Breeze conflicts with a keyboard shortcut I use in Windows 7 in Parallels and it makes the Parallels Window go full screen and screw up my work.
AFIAK, there's no way to disable Breeze for Parallels so there's no longer a conflict.
This lack of options is a glaring omission from an otherwise great product.

As for excluding apps, you are correct, there's currently no way to do that, though I agree it would be a good idea.

I know it's brilliant mostly because I've never bothered to look for an alternative yet.
There's only one thing I'm not too keen on and it's mostly to do with me memorising a whole bunch of keyboard shortcuts.
So what I do, is I tend to have no more than a handful of window positions layered over each other, and because I also have HyperDock it allows me to hover over what's underneath, so to speak.
A thought has just occurred to me. How hard would it be for a software developer to be able to prosecute an action through a snippet rather than a keyboard shortcut?

What this would mean for Breeze is you could have the option of moving the window to the left to splitscreen left, etc.. It would be great to have the option to move the window to the top and having your own custom size be triggered instead of fullscreen being your only option.
I use keyboard shortcuts, but I often prefer to move the window instead as well. It helps to prevent RSI if you randomize things a bit.
This is by far more advanced than Cinch since Cinch isn't application specific, etc., but I also think the features of Cinch would perfectly compliment Breeze and make it a much more complete, yet still simple/streamlined window manager app.

Regarding this, apart from simply transferring the menu bar icon functionality to a dock icon (not really fan of this), if Breeze for its main menu could totally operate by the way of shortcuts or at least a simple pop up bezel window on demand, it would be perfect.
Soon further more, the need for a status pane should arise as you locally manipulate more and more specific application windows.
But this is another story...

- Also, this software can be improved by adding more options such 1/2 top, 1/2 bottom or even user-defined options.

And its developer is very reactive, helpful (he helped me to fix a shortcut/keyboard issue...) and open to suggestions.
The price is really fair (the lowest for this type of application).

I have just discovered that because Breeze is resolution independent, changing the height of the Dock is also taken into account and is not an issue at all.This is simply brilliant!
