I'm a former Windows user and now an all Mac user and I find that Finder is sub-par compared to Explorer.

Even silly things like wanting to create a new folder and instinctively right clicking to look for a "New Folder" option. Nope, gotta go to the top menu and do it from there!

On a OSX, when I two finger click(touchpad) on the Desktop, I get the context menu that shows "New Folder" right at the top.

Why don't you just type Command-Shift-N like everyone else? Only beginners use the menu for these common operations.

It's even Ctrl-Shift-N in Windows. I use that command almost every day.

It's a very new shortcut in Windows, afaik since Win8.
