Slightly off-topic but perhaps this'll help a little bit (you may already be doing this):

a. Right-click (Secondary click) on the toolbar in Finder, click on "Customize Toolbar" b. Add the "Path" icon. c. This is really useful in that you can go through the folder hierarchy, to the target folder, within a couple of clicks.

One of the things Finder in OSX inherited from Classic was very good keyboard navigation, especially in List view. (Yeah, I know the NeXT folks are all addicted to columns, but Finder's hierarchical lists are better 90+% of the time.)

E.g. command-up to go up level (to parent), command-down to go into a folder or open a document, right-arrow to disclose, left-arrow to fold, start typing to match any item, shift arrow to build a multi-select, and so on and so forth.

Most of this dates back to System 3.x.
