Ask HN: Transitioning from windows to mac, good finder alternatives?

1 pointsby sourabh86almost 11 years ago
I been a windows user since start, but now that I have to shift to mac to make iOS apps, it is turning out to be a big pain. And of all the things I find "finder" to be the least usable app. Any good alternatives to finder? and any other suggestions for a mac noob? Things I miss the most:- notepad++(ST2 seems nice),strokeit, Windows explorer.

Nothing wrong with finder. I made the transition from a Win to Mac and at first I didn&#x27;t like finder but now I can&#x27;t recall what bothered me about it.<p>To truly make the leap to mac try finding the apple way if doing things rather than looking for things to make your mac as windows-like as possible.
