I agree, I’ve always found the Finder extremely usable, especially once you’ve taken a couple minutes to browse the menus and learn the Keyboard Shortcuts.

One interesting thing I’ve noticed is that people don’t seem to bother to look at the menus anymore: one of the first things I’ve always done with a new application (ever since Windows 3.1 on a Pentium 90) is open the menus and skim the menu items to figure out the basic functionality available.

The feature I miss most on Linux is hitting space to get a preview of any file.

Nautilus has sushi. It's not as good as Preview in MacOS but at least works similarily.

You mean Quick Look? Preview is the image viewer / PDF reader.

Preview is a gem on macOS, it's probably what I miss most when I use Windows.
