There's no File > Export?!

  File > Share is the same, just more user friendly language. I get it's a bit confusing if you've been using computers for a long time (it's certainly caught me out), but 'Share' makes much more sense. Especially because export/save to disk is only one of the multiple 'Share' options available.

    "Share" really means send to someone else "Export" means "save this working file in one of many formats, including possibly other formats that are first-class in third-party apps but not this app"

    Share doesn't really make any sense. And other macOS applications have an Export menu all right.

    Yes! It makes total sense to share with myself a Pages document as PDF! I‘ll promptly think of sharing if all I want to do is save/export a file in a different format. I think we can extend that helpful language to the entire OS! No need for a “copy” or “download” button, it’s all sharing, one way or another! Share share share!

      Pages has an export menu (File -> Export To -> PDF).

        Well they should fix that ASAP

    > just more user friendly language you try to justify it in a logical way, but you fail to realize that this is inherently subjective

    Yes, yes, everyday I share myself a glass of milk from the fridge. Sure.

      As opposed to exporting yourself a glass of milk from the fridge?
