I wager "Finder" is gone by the next iteration of OSX. I think the file paradigm is on its last legs, and of all the things I wish, it is that Microsoft shored up their gumption to implement WinFS and the Cairo OOP file system work.
The fact that we're still dealing with tree/branch file systems (for the lay person) is kind of insane.
- podperson 15y agoI think that "Finder" can become task / app / project centric with relatively little effort without losing the _ability_ to view things in a File-centric way. That said, Apple doesn't do things in half-measures, so what I expect would be Finder to be deprecated ("hey, it's in Utilities") and replaced with something launchpad-like.
