Yes, I use that a lot but something I miss from Windows Explorer is that i can actually copy the path. The widespread suggestion is that you can drag and drop the icon in the title but I prefer the other thing.

I miss that from Windows/Ubuntu too.

You can setup an OSX service to let you do it[1]. Doesn't really work for network shares through.

Iirc you used to be able to have the path visible at the bottom of the finder window but like so many things in OSX you have to set it to visible in the View or settings menu. I'm at work on a Winbox right now, anyone want to confirm this?

Yes, you can see it, but you can't select it and copy it.
