I personally don't care much about cosmetics. I mainly save articles for review and process tons of photos I take. I don't use a photos app because I don't want to lock my files in some database or a tree built on date. Holy WTF! Where are my photos? They used to be in a file system, and a separate branch for each camera.
I curse the Finder app hundreds of times a day. Three main gripes.
1. It never sizes windows right. Just fit all my damn columns so I don't have to horizontally scroll. A hack app called "cols" did this but stopped working. I am looking for the source.
2. When I drag a file over anything,the finder starts treating it as a drop event and puts up the beachball of death. Just wait until I get to where I'm going.
3. Search ALWAYS reverts from my working directory to the main disk. This is user-hostile.
These are not cutesy UI things. They have been aggravating for a very long time.
A Computer has always been a tool for me. A hammer or table saw that makes its own decisions is not a tool. It's outsourcing to an agent that writes its own spec's by mind reading. If I want a friend, I'll find a friend. And have a beer with them.
