I always see people hate on Finder and I never understood, I switched to macOS a few years ago for work and I strongly prefer Finder. What don’t you like about it?

EDIT: I thought about this a bit, it’s the tree view. Like 85% of the time I’m in Finder I am using the tree view, which Explorer doesn’t have



Right click -> New

Lack of cut and paste without keyboard shortcut contortions

Folder move behavior sucks

Finder is unable to make a view consistent. It will never override where a view has been previously set, even if you choose to use a particular view 'as defaults'.


Thanks for the suggestion- I must try this next time I use a Mac.
