My friend @seanhandley just posted this in response to my "where the fuck is 'cut' in OSX?" tweet.

Do you know what, I've been thinking the same for a while, but it's a bit of a sacrilege to say it and I've instead been muttering into my beard rather than actually saying it out loud.

I'm not a fan boy other than the fact that I genuinely think that Apple make better, friendlier, more usable products - but this whole Finder thing is just a bit bloody bizarre.

Some of the things that bug the shit out of me, and make me wonder if Windows actually get windows better than Jobs and his gang:

- the cut thing (I hear you can now 'move' in Lion - cool, that's that one sorted)

- the "can't resize the fucking windows apart from on one corner" thing. Stupid.

- the "can't really minimise all windows cos some apps don't seem to listen" thing. Ridiculous. I have to use an app ("Show Desktop") to do this. An app, ffs!

- the whole contextual "never in the right bloody folder" thing which I totally can't articulate but when I'm using an app I want to be able to save in certain places and for whatever reason Finder is NEVER in the right place. A rambling criticism, but if you use it and use Windows, you'll know exactly what I mean. Windows gets this right. OSX gets it wrong.

There's some other stuff too but I feel weird enough saying this lot in public. I'm going to go hide now. 

{ Please tell me I'm wrong by the way, and actually there's some kind of setting somewhere which will solve all of this :-) }
