Disclaimer:I realize this probably isn't the right group for this posting, but the thread started here. Pardon my flames, but... Why would you want to replace the finder? It's the heart of the Mac! It's what makes the Mac so fun to use! Et cetera, ad nauseum. Seriously, the reason Macs are so straightforward, IMHO, is because you don't have to type anything in to locate, open, copy, delete, or move documents and programs, which means not having to remember commands which, while sensible once you understand them, take time to learn. So hip-hip-hooray for the finder, and for the intuitive finder replacements like DiskTop, but boo hiss to the idea of replacing the finder with an ms-dos-like interface.
