How I ended up with Mac

I've used Macs for 5+ years and can safely say "It just works" is pretty much BS.

At least the pain in respect of Finder can be almost totally mitigated by XtraFinder. [1] It's a truly useful addition to Finder.

Think cut&paste, tabs etc, without the slow bulk of CocoaTech's Path Finder. And it's free too! I mostly use the terminal, but nowadays I no longer dread having to fire up Finder when the situation arises.

This is wonderful ! The very limited Finder was the thing that I found most annoying with OSX.

Finally having tabs in Finder is almost cheating. Humans were not supposed to have a taste of tabs on OSX. I'm sure this XtraFinder technology was stolen from aliens or from a time traveler's Apple laptop dating from 2033.

I tried a bunch of Finder enhancers/replacements a year ago. I didn't see this one...thanks.
