I think both fewer and more people use finder than we assume.

Spotlight has replaced app search.

In-app file browsers have replaced a lot of Finder functionality (project views, file views, browsing etc. in IDEs and power tools).

And given how anemic Finder still is, I wonder if its use among power users is very low.



What do you think power users use?


Console


I think you might mean "Terminal". Console is an app that just gives you macOS's log spew. Also, I don't know any Mac power user, myself included, who doesn't use both the terminal and Finder. Most of them use iTerm2, actually.


You’re right
