The most popular file manager on Mac OS X

The Finder is the default application program used on the Mac OS and Mac OS X operating systems that is responsible for the overall user-management of files, disks, network volumes and the launching of other applications. As such the Finder acts like the shell on other operating systems, but using a graphical user interface. It was introduced with the very first Macintosh computer, and also existed as part of GS/OS on the Apple IIGS. It underwent a complete rewrite with Apple's switch to a UNIX-based OS in Mac OS X.

    Better than Windows Explorer, can't really compare it to Nautilus as such, but still makes using the Mac pretty damn easy.

    After suffering with Windows at work 10 hours a day, it is always refreshing to be able to navigate folders with arrow keys and preview files in columns or QuickLook. The ability to, with one click, quickly drag a file through a series of springloaded folders to the place where I want it, without clicking here and clicking there and right-clicking makes it so much easier to organize files.

    Like everything Apple and Mac, it just works.

    I've been using the Finder since 1989, when I was old enough to start using a computer. My parents... they've been using it since 1984. The Finder was always a part of my computing experience growing up, and even though I make a living fixing Windows machines, I will always be a Mac user. Every once in a while, I kind of miss the flat graphical UI that the Finder was in System 6 and 7. I definitely think that the Finder and the rest of Mac OS X is really overdue for a UI refresh. Apple, we need more colors than just blue and grey. I'd love to see a color scheme and UI similar to that of the new QuickTime X player. But honestly, I think the next big advance in Mac UI is going to combine the Finder with the iPhone Springboard and the Dashboard, and that'll be the way things look and act.
