I have legitimately never had a complaint about Finder and I don’t really get the hate in this thread. I guess to each his own.



You never had to check the size of lets say 10 folders at once?

Try doing that in Finder and let us know if you like the approach or not.


Believe it or not, I’ve never had to check the size of ten separate folders at once. Like, ever.

I have to amend my previous comment; reading the thread I do understand the hate now, nearly all of the comments here where people are angry at Finder are just things I’ve never had to do. And I suppose if I had to do them I would just use a shell script.

A big one is “no button to go up in the folder hierarchy”, I always open folders in a list view at a high level directory like ~/Documents so I just… didn’t notice the lack of this button. Huh.

Does this mean Finder is “good”? Well clearly not since so many people are unhappy. But it’s working fine for me. Without any other info I would assume it’s working fine for a majority of macOS users.


⌘⌥I?
