IIRC, lots of Apple > geeks have also mentioned how much they dislike it too. Well, I'm a relatively new apple user (~1year) and I sort of like the new apple finder. However, the one difference is that the look of the default finder window (which ethan approximated in his mockup) is that that is the 'browser' mode, not the apple 'spatial' mode (which is accessed by clicking the 'menu' button in the top right, and which looks pretty much the same as the nautilus spatial mode). Personally I think the mockup would work better with the browser buttons along the top and be used as the browser mode, as it looks less different than spatial mode than the current browser mode does. Does that make any sense? :) > Besides that, are there any patent issues that are related to this look?
