…it finds files. Is "Explorer" somehow a better name? No comment on it being useless, as that's not something I can respond to, obviously.

Uh, no? You can literally do everything with your mouse, and they all make sense as the other commenters have mentioned.

You can configure that, it's call the "spring loading delay" in System Preferences.

That sounds like a "you" problem.

> They are not recent files created via command line, but some random collection of files that Finder thought they knew better about what to call recent, a complete waste of your time.

They're recent as in what you opened recently.

> Next you have Applications: What a wonderful idea, to list programs in the file explorer, even though they cannot be interacted in the usual way not have any file navigation to be seen.

You can copy them, move them around, delete them…I fail to see your point.

As opposed to the mature adult writing this.
