AltTab: Windows alt-tab on macOS
Rectangle: Keyboard based window management.
Linear Mouse: Per-device settings for Mouse, Track Pad, etc. Things like pointer super, scroll direction, and mouse acceleration.
What does AltTap do better than the build in cmd+tap?
Just a preference thing since it makes it more like how Windows and some Linux distros do window management.
Hitting Alt + Tab brings up a preview of all windows that you have open with the ability to scroll / tab through them.
Hitting Alt + ` while focused on a certain application shows a preview image of each window for that application that you have open.
I personally like it more than the OSX default but to each their own.
