Speaking personally:

* No ability to show thumbnails in folder icons

* No ability to use single click + hover to highlight

* Relative sizing feels way off - everything in Finder always seems to be simultaneously way too spaced out while also being way too small.

* Never seems to remember view preferences properly, and often defaults to confusing arrangements.

* Doesn't like to stay connected to network drives, despite any number of tricks I've tried.

* The usual cut/paste/delete operations being needlessly complicated to perform

I do prefer macOS overall, partly because I'm tired of having to constantly tweak and fix Linux whenever I try to use it as a desktop system, and because of things like iTerm2 and BetterTouchTool.

But I really hate trying to do any kind of real file management with Finder, and most third-party apps I've tried just seem to replicate everything I dislike about Finder.



I fixed the cut/paste/delete stuff here. https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto
