For me, the keyboard (in)accessibility is the biggest issue. On Windows I got used to navigating Explorer completely with the keyboard — this was a LONG time ago, I have no idea of the current state. On macOS, it's just impossible (or, at the very least (but I doubt), impractical).

Other issues:

- the fact that you cannot cut and paste files

- dragging files from one folder to another can be unreliable/error-prone, particularly in tree view



> - the fact that you cannot cut and paste files

Back in time I also complained about this, but do you know that if you copy (CMD+C) then do CMD+ALT+V, then copy&paste becomes cut&paste ?


Also cmd-up arrow and cmd-down arrow to go up and down folders.

You can also click on the title to get a list view of the current folder and its parents.


Thanks for the tip. It's not as convenient as CMD+X, CMD+V, but I might see if I can commit it to memory.


I have a hard time remembering this. But there’s also right-click, then Option to show secondary options (Copy becomes Move)


I lost track of how many times ive lost data to cut.
