Gnome’s Nautilus is a long way away from being Finder. It certainly trying very hard, and there are some things I like about Nautilus more than I like about Finder, but Finder has a lot of polish that is missing from Nautilus.

That said, I look forward to The development of Nautilus and all of the improvements that will bring.

Huh, i have the complete opposite reaction. Having to move to macos for work finder is probably my least favourite bit. It feels like it is deliberately trying to hide the file system and my files from me and just give me the files it thinks i want, id have nautilus or thunar installed in a heartbeat.

Finder? Polished? Even compared to Windows Explorer, Finder is terrible.

I love Gnome but I think KDE's Dolphin beats them all. Fortunately being Linux you can always use Dolphin with Gnome.

The list of things you can do is a bit cherry picked too. For example, in a web browser file upload dialog, try previewing the images you want to upload. You can’t do it in Gnome. It’s been an outstanding fix request for 20+ years!

All I read here is "finder is better, but I won't give you any reasons". My sister is a die hard Apple fan, and she hates finder. So, yeah, unless you can bring a good argument for your claim, finder is pretty crap.

Funny, because that’s not at all what I said.

And I wasn’t making an argument, I was expressing an opinion. If you want an argument, go to somebody else.
