But that requires opening each subfolder in its own window, right? I can say ever since Win95 I've been setting that stupid Folder Options > 'Open each folder in the same window' setting because I could never stand having the next level down appear someone random on the screen and just clutter up the entire desktop.

Usually, I'd navigate to a folder and then have the content in list view (which was really useful, like windows' "detailed" view, only better) and then drill down to the subfolders via the collapsible tree.

So, yeah I miss the spatial finder too, but after 10+ years, I have gotten over it. People blow this out of proportion.

Yeah, having said all this I do really like Miller columns for navigation.
