I used Macs exclusively from MacOS 7 up until about 3 years ago. And I will always stand by Macs were easier to use, more consistent and more intuitive before OSX. Yes, the OS was archaic architecturally and it was downright primitive in many ways. But the UX was far superior.

Finder is bizarre in that it hasn't really changed much at all in 20+ years.

That discontinuity is because OSX is decended from NEXTSTEP, not classic MacOS. Finder was "ported" but many of the other NeXT-isms remain.
