Compared to Linux it’s a toss up. Though the Mac UI is miles ahead of standard Linux; you have to spend quite a long time tuning your DE to get something good and even then there is UI consistency across toolkits. The Mac has things like Office, Photoshop, Affinity Photo, more games as well. Linux has better package managers and is more customisable.

Both are vastly better than Windows for development.

The Mac OSX UI is at least as bad as Windows. FFS Finder, guys!

Cocoa is much, much better than anything I have seen on Windows.

Finder is just an application, but the toolkit is pervasive.

Never liked Finder but you can have alternatives like ForkLift and Transmit. I even enabled "Quit Finder" to get it out of my alt-tabbing.
