I can't believe all the talk about Finder here..
I bet Miguel is more like me than most of you, that is, living in a unix/linux terminal for the last 15 years or more - AND doing file management in that terminal!
I've also gone to the Mac from unix/linux as my primary machine as it just works. What I mean by that is suspend/resume, wifi, and all that stuff that you shouldn't think about anymore.
Sure, all I use on it is a browser, iTerm, emacs and dev tools installed from MacPorts, but it provides me with a good environment - that just works. Updates have never broken anything for me - not even the OS updates. Can't say the same about Linux.
- wes-exp 14y agoAbsolutely. I don't use much more than iTerm2, a web browser, emacs + various developer stuff, and Homebrew. The base OS is rock f-ing solid. All my unix stuff works flawlessly. Time spent f'ing around with drivers and random upgrade issues? Zero. It even syncs with my phone (iPhone), which happens to work great! Finder? Who gives a crap? That's what the terminal is for!
- jff 14y agoThis is the attitude that puzzles me. I install Debian. I launch X, with no configuration. My WM starts in the optimal resolution. Sound, which has for years been a major pain point, pretty much just works; Pulse and ALSA may suck, but I've used both with great success and no fiddling of drivers As for upgrade issues... I apt-get upgrade weekly because things are getting fixed. OS X is still shipping the same out-of-date copy of BSD tools they've been using for years.
