What Moom does well
Moom is deeper than DockThumb for layouts. Saved layouts are useful if you switch between a laptop screen and an external display, and the green-button grid is quick once you learn it.
What DockThumb adds
DockThumb focuses on speed for everyday cases: ⌃⌥ + arrows for halves and thirds, ⌃⌥A to sort every window into a grid by type, ⌃⌥P to pin one on top. It adds a switcher grouped by type and hover + one key in the Dock and its stacks.
