Haven't reviewed the code yet. Just commenting on the idea:

It's not a useless feature--I'll actually be voting to have it enabled
by default actually. Plus Metacity uses the quick maximize thing
already by default so it's already been used by Linux people.

I personally prefer the GUI we had before you removed it in commit
962763 [1]. It had two separate checkboxes instead of one; one for
quick maximize and one for quick tiling. The more complex part of that
commit doesn't need to be readded as I've since realised that enabling
the quick features is not mutually exclusive with other electric
border triggers (One for while windows are moving, the other when
not).
