The "new folder" workflow in Finder is one of the most infuriating things I've ever seen in macOS. I swear, they used to just have a "new folder" button in the olden days.

I actually didn't know there ever used to be a New Folder button, but that prompted me to customise the toolbar in Finder and I see it as an option (and have now added it).

OK I'll admit I didn't realize you could right click -> "customize toolbar". That seems to work in almost all native apps (Mail and Finder for me, at least). And you can turn on text labels in the options!

Finally I can get rid of the tagging button in Finder and replace it with a New Folder button. And I can ditch all of those buttons I don't use at the top of the Mail app to keep the "search" bar open at all times.

Cmd+Shift+N works, when the UI fails.

It was really frustrating till I realized they didn't completely remove the button. The icon is just hidden in the customise toolbar options.
