Really one of the worst pieces of software I've ever been forced to use.

Windows Explorer isn't great either. Still can't support names/paths that the windows filesystem can

Sorry but windows explorer is miles ahead of finder.

Granted that's not that hard with how bad finder really is.

Naw, Windows Explorer is basically useless for productivity. No QuickLook, no spring-loaded folders, can't show directory sizes in list view, for some reason it sorts directories separately from files(?!?) so you can't just type to jump to files, search is still atrocious etc etc. It's just so barren.

No the Finder UI is far superior. The part where it falls down is just in sheer bugginess and performance. And Apple of the past couple years has shown it does not care about fixing bugginess or performance on any of their platforms.

Yeah no. Finder is garbage on every conceivable level.

Seriously I don't get how anyone can literally defend that garbage.

Bunch of Stockholm syndrome going around.
