The biggest problem I have is there is nothing showing your path so no quick way to navigate up a few levels. I've been using OSX for about 5 years now and I still have no idea how to get to the parent dir. There is an option in the GUI to go "back" if you navigated to the folder but if you got there from a shortcut/link how do you get to the parent?
I found in this thread you can use CMD up to go to the parent. Why isn't there anything in the UI? edit: I guess it's File -> Go -> Enclosing folder. Seems like too many steps compared to Windows Explorer which is 1 click.

- dunham 12y agoPer other comments in this thread: Cmd-Up will go to parent. (This also is indicated in the menu item that you just pointed out.) If you don't like using the keyboard: * Right click on the title bar, choose "Customize Toolbar..." and drag the "Path" option to your toolbar. You'll then have a dropdown button to navigate to the parent and any ancestor of the current folder. * Alternately, you can choose "Show Path Bar" in the View menu, and it will display your path at the bottom of the window. (You have to double click on an entry to go to it.)
