Just be wary when drag & dropping a folder onto an existing folder, as the destination folder and all contents will be nuked before starting the copy! This is IMHO unexpected, especially if you're coming from Linux/Windows, where folders/files are appended (with subsequent pop-up dialogs asking whether to overwrite).

What? You must be doing something wrong. I would say that is unexpected and definitely doesn't match my experience.

Here it is explained in more detail with screenshots:

A dialog pops up with 2 choices: Stop or Replace. Replace will delete everything in the destination folder before copying over the source. If you hold the Option key while drag&dropping, you can get one of multiple different pop-up dialogs, depending on the circumstances... and the results are not very predictable.
