Probably because Windows Explorer is great file manager.
By the way, in Nautilus you can type path, the shortcut is ctrl+l
Nautilus is pretty bad but I find macOS Finder even worse.

Having it pointed out like that, you're right. I think my 'big' complaints about Windows Explorer have just been the lack of tabs, which I think are being/have been added in Win11) and the multiple-windows-single-process model, which hasn't been as much of an issue lately with explorer being a lot more stable.
Otherwise explorer is a very smooth experience. I just treated it as bad because of frustrations with Windows in general.
Find the "Launch folder windows in a separate process" option under Folder Options -> View
Or at least there is in Windows 10, idk if they removed it with all the other useful stuff removed in Win11.
Unfortunately, they backtracked on that, so still no tabs.
I found this example code from 2008 for an up button on the apple website:
`tell application "Finder" set the target of Finder window 1 to (container of target of Finder window 1) end tell`
But I am getting an error on modern OSX... I would be interested to see how your button works :)
tell application "Finder"
set myWin to window 1
set thePath to (POSIX path of (target of myWin as alias))
set thePath to (quoted form of POSIX path of (target of myWin as alias))
tell application "Terminal"
activate
tell window 1
do script "cd " & thePath
end tell
end tell
end tell
Obligatory what the fuck were they thinking. I'm glad there is no api to access the "flash bios" button on the motherboard because some nautilus dev would surely find a feature like this to bind to that button.
I like it to the point that if I need to organize a bunch of files, I’ll sometimes just export the folder as a file share so I can organize the files from a Mac over the network.
