What do you mean with "insane"? It's in the nature of things that you have to press 2 or 3 keys of Cmd, Option, Ctrl, etc. for managing focused windows. Otherwise you most probably use a key combo that is already reserved by the focused app or macOS. In addition, you can define your own shortcuts. E.g., it's easy for me to remember my Spectacle shortcuts. I press all of these special keys and than use:
N (Next display)
P (Previous display)
↑ (focused window should consume upper half of display)
← (focused window should consume left half of display)
...
There are many tools like Spectacle, e.g., Amethyst. However, there you have the "same problem" to define "cryptic shortcuts". I use Spectacle for most of window management, because I find it easy to use. If I forget a shortcut or want to go to preferences to define shortcuts, I have to click on the menu item.
I haven't mentioned all of Alfred's features. There are many more if you use Alfred's Powerpack. There are scripting capabilities I also plan to check out in the future: alfredapp.com/help/workflows/actio...

I should have mentioned that part of what complicates the shortcuts is my love of mechanical keyboards, I don't have any of my keyboards configured for OS X layout and mostly interact with my MacBook through a virtual KVM switch, so it can be confusing going back and forth.
