It is maybe worth noting that MacOS X has file system events that allow the Finder to receive notification when files are changed, so that it can update its display immediately and doesn't have to constantly check for updates. Meanwhile in 2016 Windows still can't do this, so half the time when I add a file to a directory by downloading it or writing it programmatically, the window I'm using to look at the file system will be out of date.
