This will give you gcc and all the basic things you're used to. I still edit most text files using ViM inside one of those iTerminals. I always have iTerm open and still manage tons of things via zsh. Some things are still tough to customize, and I do miss that, but it's worth it for the stability and how rarely I have to personally manage how the system operates. A lot of us linux and FreeBSD users switched over 10-15 years ago once OS X was stable, as a way to be power users while not having to constantly maintain our systems. This is basically a BSD box with a really pretty GUI.

Leave those features off and give me the option to turn them on if I need them. They're in every other 3rd party file manager and every file manager on linux. IMO, all of these features should be in finder.

You can right click in a folder window and open a terminal from the context menu. There's an 'up' button you can press to jump to the parent directory of the directory you're in.

There's actually a menu option to show hidden files and the key combo to do it is intuitive. Directories don't, by default, open in new windows so you don't have visual clutter (important if you're used to a tiling workflow).

While these might not be problems for the average user who seldom interacts directly with their files, once you start managing thousands of photos or a few hundred files, it's challenging to make finder do what it needs to do.Ĭompare this with a simple file manager in linux like pcmanfm (yes, I intentionally picked one that's not part of KDE or gnome to make my point).īy default, full path shows - this can show as breadcrumbs or a path field that you can actually type in - makes moving around the filesystem speedy. Many of the usability features are turned off by default. Walking back up the folder tree is unintuitive.
