Each and every comment that is in agreement here is a bunch of former Windows users who wanted to move Explorer to Mac with them. I have used MacOS for over 15 years. Finder has never stood in my way. I don’t even know what “see the file system” means. Too many words to say “I don’t know how to organize my files on a computer but I consider myself a power user”
I don’t even know what “see the file system” means.
It just means they want to see the hierarchy that the filesystem exposes. Here's a useful diagram [0] from the Wikipedia page on hierarchial file systems [1]. There are ways to show paths and directory structure in finder, but you're fighting against the intended usage.
I don’t get how this is any easier in windows explorer. In both windows and Mac I can just pin the drive itself or just the root directory to the sidebar and then use list/grid/nested columns to pop in and out of the hierarchy however I want. In both Mac and windows, the default home folders (like “documents”) sort of hide the rest of the filesystem from you.
I'm however so confused by Windows' top level of the hierarchy. Like the Desktop contains the computer which contains the Desktop, yet that one doesn't have the computer in it. And likewise for the bin, the Configuration Panel, yet not Settings, etc. etc.
Desktop > My Computer > C > Users > Me > Desktop
or perhaps even on my work laptop
Desktop > My Computer > C > Users > Me > OneDrive > Desktop
Wow. I cannot believe in good ‘ol 2026 there are still people who believe a whole successful programming language could be the reason for a failed experiment (startup). If your startup is solving a real problem, choosing the “wrong” language could never be the reason it fails.
Except I never said it’s the whole reason for a failed startup. You’re just making shit up out of thin air.
Choosing a wrong language can be a factor for failure. This is possible but rare. For example choosing Python for a triple A game engine.
Mostly choosing the wrong language results in pain and friction and extra work. These things are enough for me to consider a choice wrong. You don’t need the language to bring down the entire startup for me to consider to to be wrong.
For example if you chose nodejs. One application server instance is enough to serve the website and scale for a couple years. If you chose flask… well… setting that up for the same scale would be complicated. Your choice here is proportional to the amount of pain you feel later.
