Save As is particularly worthless in Windows since Windows goes out of its way to obfuscate the file system. It's far simpler to create a new file in a folder and start from there.

And why doesn't the grid automatically stretch to fit the screen like Windows does? Another one is that there's no toolbar button to delete files since they expect you to drag them to the trash. Please I'm not dragging files for 1000px with a trackpad as an entry-level user.
- winrid 5y agoI always wondered why the delete key did nothing with files in Finder. Like what is the reasoning there?
