Finder is such a bad file manager that you sometimes start doubting your intelligence, thinking that something so trivial it should be possible, and you are the one not being able to figure out it. For example, it is the only file manager I have ever used which doesn't show a consistent view of files in a directory. The view sometimes seems to be cached. Let's say I downloaded a file. I can do ls for it from a terminal window. However, finder doesn't see the file. Cp or mv to another folder and boom, finder can see it now. Also, the search in finder is pathetically bad and totally unintuitive. I sometimes think apple might be internally using something different, that's why they don't realise or care how bad it is. Off course, all this is valid if you have used other file explorers. If you come from a walled garden without any file system, anything can seem to be a boon, even Finder.
