The Finder is atrocious. It's the worst default macOS app and probably the worst program period I've ever used. It's been so dumbed down that it's basically unusable for anyone slightly experienced.
- There's no way to create an empty file
- There's no easy way to cut a file/folder (Cmd-x doesn't work)
- There's no (?) way to keep everything consistently sorted and aligned
- ~~Tags are useless and just take up space for nothing~~ This one is entirely subjective. I retract it.
- No "parent folder"...
There's some great features in Finder but it sucks at so many things it's just frustrating to use. Windows Explorer is infinitely better. It has less cool features (no tabs for instance) but is so much better to actually use.
I get that some features are hidden to avoid confusing non savvy users, but preventing experimented users to do basic stuff is criminal.
