With Vim as-is, you can sometimes alternate between Ctrl-W _ (which
expands the current window to maximum size, or to the count provided)
and Ctrl-W = (which restores all windows to equal size).
I'm conscious that this doesn't cover all possible use cases, of course;
and personally I don't use it since (nowadays) I always expand the
current window to maximum size (and when I want to check text from
another window, well, I temporarily switch to that window).
Happy Vimming!
