>It's not a single keyboard shortcut or menu option like Windows/Explorer out of the box That was my point? >a power user could also make that happen and could even map it to Cmd-L if they wanted I've even seen Applescripts for it! They took longer than 5 minutes to develop. I want to spend my time tweaking in-depth parts of the UI, not very basic features that exist already in another. OSX being dumbed down is a feature, if you want to sync your podcasts it's a great system for it.

Add another 20 seconds to go configure your Keyboard shortcuts in System Preferences and someone who's actually a power user can make this happen in about 40 seconds. 5 minutes was being generous to a novice. Edit: For funsies, here's the fresh out out of the box, mouse only macOS way too: https://imgur.com/a/Wce61 https://imgur.com/a/Wce61 Edit2: "OSX being dumbed down is a feature, if you want to sync your podcasts it's a great system for it." Sure, just like "Windows is a great system for playing games, but if you want to do real work, you use a Mac". See how stupid that sort of ignorance sounds?

  Much of the configuration in OSX is hidden, compared to Windows; some of this being a result of Window's dominance at the Enterprise level. That's why you need Terminal to Show Hidden Files. OSX has a different strength: simplicity. It's why I told my dad to buy one. What you paint here is a false equivalence.

    We can all cherry pick complaints. Try remapping your capslock as another control key on both systems and use that as a gauge for which OS hides settings.
