The Files app is a huge improvement, but it doesn't integrate into other apps very well. For example, if I play an audio recording, playback happens within the files app, so I can't browse through other documents at the same time. I could import the audio file into e.g. VLC, but now I'm copying it into a new location. Contrast this with traditional OS X. I can open a file in any app, but the file continues to live in Finder. In a way, you could say that the Mac puts files first in the way that iOS puts apps first. An app is just a tool, and could be used for anything: I write papers for school and documentation for work and poetry for pleasure. A file, on the other hand, has a distinct purpose.
