This, I'm not sure why people don't talk about as much but Finder is awful and I've not been able to find a replacement.

Agreed! It has taken me so much time to get accustomed to Finder. Often it is just the command line and then `open <path>`if finder is needed.

There are some shortcuts to make Finder usage more enjoyable:

- Shift+Command+H go to Home

- Command+Up go to parent folder

- Command+Down go in to selected folder

- Shift+Command+G go to written path

Also Option+Command+P toggles "Path Bar" at the bottom of the window

I spend the vast majority of my non-browser time on the command line, but sometimes for some things for some reason I prefer a GUI file browser - shuffling around 'admin documents', bills etc. rather than programming stuff or anything I've written in a text-based format. Maybe it's just because I grew up with Windows & File Explorer, so that's what I'm accustomed to for that sort of thing.

For that, Finder is maybe the one thing I miss from macOS. Haven't found one for Linux that works well and doesn't have surprising click/select/rename behaviour for example. (I'm using Elementary's 'Files' at the moment (not on its distro) certainly open to any suggestions.)
