> You can also turn on 'Show Path Bar' and get a breadcrumb-style control.
a.) Why is it not on by default?
b.) I want to type in a full path in one go, not click on individual segments of one - maybe that's not really common but I tend to memorize my FS structure.
> There's a shortcut, cmd-shift-G, listed on that menu item.
Am aware of the shortcut, it's not quite the same, it's an extra step you have to do vs not having to do, but it's probably just a "getting used to thing".
> You can tile two finder windows side-by-side.
That's like saying in a browser without tabs you can just open another window. Sure you can, it takes another second or two to get it the same size, probably won't open in the same directory as the old one, the other one will loose focus as you interact with the other etc.
> Tab support is seven years old.
Fair. Linux had it for 2 decades, I still remember the WWDC keynote where they announced it, which is probably why in my mind it was more recent.
