We need to document macOS
OT a bit but I think still related. 8 years ago when I switch to OSX I was furious with finder. Tiny window, no hierarchical browsing and the search just doesn&#x27;t do shit that is useful.<p>I normally default to locate or find now so much that I was using it the other day I was reminded about how much it sucked. It&#x27;s literally identical (aside from tags and labels) to what it was forever ago and is a terrible paradigm. I looked around for a bit for some help on refining the search sensibly and nothing in the OS helped (back on topic!). I&#x27;ve been using a great replacement for Finder called PathFinder that does everything Finder should do, but you can&#x27;t swap it out. All the native places I access Finder are important inroads. They used to have instructions to hack it but apple shut them down.<p>I feel more and more like UI and usability innovation totally ate itself and died at maybe a specific moment in time ~6 years ago. Where did the people and companies go that do cool new things? Are the giants on their laurels long enough yet to get eaten? I&#x27;d switch totally to Ubuntu or Mint for my desktop work, but I do things that require the adobe suite, I need a trackpad that works as well as the mac one without fighting it, and I want to just solve problems, not fiddle with barely supported gizmos for weeks.<p>Did we reach the absolute end of all we can do with this juggling of rectangles that display and accept text and now we just get everything that matters to a power user stripped off for the sake of what &quot;most users care about&quot;? I really don&#x27;t think we have.<p>I&#x27;m still pissed and I still have no answers. My kingdom for a $3000 laptop that &quot;Just works&quot; and helps me murder code, deployment, graphic arts, music, and still loads HBONow.
