KDE's Dolphin File manager can:
1) Split the file window in two with a simple button press.
2) Pressing F4 opens an embedded terminal in the current directory.
3) Provides a super easy way of adding network drives, and a whole view to save them to.
4) Tags for organising files / folders.
5) Pressing space puts it into a super simple "Selection Mode".
There are more alternative file managers out there than just Mac's Finder. I don't think I have ever experienced Windows "blowing me out of the water" with it's file management controls.

- gondaloof 3y agoWindows could (can?) read all the metadata out of MP3s and photos and edit it, use it as columns and virtual groups/folders (IIRC). Most file managers I know are limited to filenames and a couple of dates attached (tags are too easy to implement, they’re manual, I’m not impressed) Coming from Vista, Tiger’s Finder was a joke and it still is to this day (with the obvious exception of QuickLook, which is great) I don’t know anything about Linux, I just wanted to point out that macOS hasn’t seen much improvement in the past decade other than continuous shuffling and redesigns.
