Yes, you can buy a 3rd party replacement with the hassle of deploying and maintaining on multiple machines, if you have them, but my main complaint is what decades of not caring about the most fundamental of all Mac apps (the only one you can't quit) implies about Apple's strategic attitude toward the Mac overall.įor those of us who find the Mac the best pro dev platform, the implications are not good, because what we tend to like about it (desktop unix where all the client stuff just works) is just a historical accident that Apple would not create again and does not intend to maintain longer than necessary. The simplest, most obvious things, such as having 2 side-by-side trees for file organization, or right-click on anything and create a new folder there-things that are easy and obvious-are NEVER going to come to Finder, which occasionally adds trivial eye candy such as "album flow" views or colored "tags", but basic workaday functionality, no. I'm far more of a Mac user, but I use Windows, too, and I agree that the Finder is quite inferior to Win Explorer.
While that's good news in that it forces me to do almost everything within Docker, it's bad whenever I need to maintain parity for whatever reason. The thing that I don't like is that it's not a Linux and many of the dev environments I've worked in run on Linux, especially now in the age of Docker. The one thing I like about OS X is that it's a BSD with GNU utilities built in. not being able to charge the thing from common chargers, the most lucrative reason for using USB-C, for me) is garbage. Also, not having USB-A ports and requiring a 90W USB-C to USB-C power brick (i.e.
Windows like explorer for mac windows#
There are other little enhancements that I prefer Windows over to OS X, but I'm not remembering them right now.
Starting applications by their binary name with WIN + R is better (for me) than trying to find them within Spotlight. (I actually miss using xmonad it was soooo good at this.) Office applications (still very real in a lot of environments) are mostly awful on the Mac. OS hotkey navigation is much better on Windows and GNOME/KDE/Fluxbox/xmonad. Finder is garbage compared to Windows Explorer.
